Rediscovering Justice: Jim Wallis at Chautauqua – Faith, Action, and the Moral Compass for Our Times

In the most recent Jim Wallis newsletter, God's Politics, Annie Selak, visiting scholar at the Center on Faith and Justice and author of The Wounded Church: Tending to the Harm within the Church, examines The Ethical Authority of the Church by casting sexism, racism, and clericalism as self-inflicted wounds of the church. In tandem with the special edition of God's Politics, we are re-releasing a sermon Rev. Wallis preached in at the Chautauqua Institution. This episode, recorded during his week as Chaplain and Preacher at the historic Chautauqua Institution, explores how the teachings of Jesus offer a moral compass in times of national crisis. Drawing on powerful stories from the Senate steps and personal moments with his family, Jim unpacks foundational biblical texts—like Matthew 25 and the Good Samaritan—to challenge us to love our neighbors, defend the vulnerable, and reclaim justice as central to faith.
