"Could overcoming poverty become a bipartisan issue and a nonpartisan cause?" That's the question Jim Wallis, convener of Call to Renewal, tossed at his students to open the last session of his fall semester course
"What's Faith Got To Do With It?—Activism, Spirituality and Social Change" at Harvard University's Institute of Politics in the John F. Kennedy School of Government.
Call to Renewal, which began in 1996 as a counter to Christian fundamentalism's mounting influence in American politics, is a federation of churches, denominations, and faith-based organizations who agree on the Biblical or ethical imperative to end US poverty and racism (www.calltorenewal.com).
