Whose Vision of Social Justice?

[Holly3278]

Talk-show host Glenn Beck recently struck a nerve – and ratings gold – when he urged his audience to abandon any church that espouses social justice.

The term is “code” for extremist political ideas akin to those of Nazis and Communists, Beck said, and churches that use it are promoting “a perversion of the Gospel” that privileges big government over individual charity.

Beck’s controversial advice sparked a passionate backlash, particularly from the political left. Leading the boycott-Beck brigade is liberal social activist the Rev. Jim Wallis, who says Christians now should consider Beck’s show as obscene and unworthy of their patronage as shock jock Howard Stern’s.

I strongly recommend that one read the entire article before commenting. I just finished reading the entire article but as of this point, I don’t really have a comment. Feel free to discuss!
