Half way through the book…yes, we are on the winning side. Dwelling on that thought rather than trying to determine guilt or reason behind the acts of others supports Hope and onward behaviors. Thank you for sharing.

I have been a part of the Sojourners experience since I first read the issue containing the interview with dissident Korean poet Kim Chi Ha. I was hooked by subject matter and excellent writing. That was in the late seventies. When I was living in South Korea I had the wonderful opportunity to direct Kim Chi Ha’s play The Gold Crowned Jesus in English translation published by Maryknoll Press under a time when such performances were banned by the military dictatorship in power. We managed to pull it off without anyone getting arrested staging the performances on a Christian university in the city of Daejeon two hours south of Seoul. I am thankful that Sojourners Magazine introduced me to the work of Kim Chi Ha and many others who stood for justice, human rights, equality, and democracy. Timely and essential for the times we find ourselves in in 2024, I am thankful for the light you shine.

Well said Jim Wallis, and truly we live in a Kairos Time whether you live in the United States or not! From my perspective as a Canadian, it seems that what happens in your country happens the day after here north of the 49th parallel, which until recently that was not the case😢!

Thanks for sharing this timely sermon. And for the book you’ve written, The Flase White Gospel. I would like to know if you’d consider visiting Honolulu, Hawaii, a land filled with cultural and social diversity and a beautiful example of the often elusive rainbow colors of the church across the spectrum of American religious experience. The State of Hawaii wasn’t on your recent book tour in the USA. We’re about a 5 hour flight from the mainland west coast. Thank you for your ministry of written and spoken word. Peace.
