Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

Do you read John Pavlovitz or follow him on Twitter? Rev. Daniel? James Martin, SJ? Sister Helen Prejean? Not to mention our president is a social justice Catholic, as is my senator. So are Sen. Chris Coons, who is a Methodist, I think, and Hillary Clinton. We just don't scream it like the Talibangelicals.

I was raised Episcopalian in the north so very aware. My confirmation instructor, in fact, was a Freedom Rider! Even when we moved to Tennessee the Episcopalians in my diocese were quite social justice minded. I sent my daughter to a Catholic high school which turned out to be very social justice oriented--in fact, the religion class her entire junior year was entitled Social Justice! She's carried that tradition, if not the Catholic education, with her kids, and her son just signed an LOI with Wheeling University, formerly a Jesuit school and still very Catholic and apparently social justice-oriented.
