From my colleague, David Simmons, Rector of St. Matthias Episcopal Church, in Waukesha, WI on why he participated in the interfaith rally on Tuesday.

Two evangelicals, Brian McLaren and Jim Wallis on the larger issue of Christianity, morality, and budgets.

Wallis writes:

As Sojourners said in the last big budget debate in 2005, “A budget is a moral document.” For a family, church, city, state, or nation, a budget reveals what your fundamental priorities are: who is important and who is not; what is important and what is not. It’s time to bring that slogan back, and build a coalition and campaign around it.
