One of the surprises about the peace movement of the ’80s has been the presence (and central organizing significance) of evangelical Christians—a category usually pigeonholed as diehard conservative. One of the most influential such groups has been the Sojourners Fellowship, a Washington, D.C., religious community which is active in peace actions and publishes Sojourners magazine monthly. This is a handsome, intelligent journal whose coverage extends from the sanctuary movement to Christian feminism to South Africa. Sojourners is decidedly ecumenical, drawing upon a multi-denominational pool of contributors, including Catholic priest Henri Nouwen, writer Gary Wills, and even economist Gar Alperovitz. This is a vital representation of Christianity active in the “real world.”
