Quoting Jim Wallis I ask, “Since when did believing in God and having moral values make you pro-war, pro-rich, and pro-Republican? And, since when did promoting and pursuing a progressive social agenda with a concern for economic security, health care, and educational opportunity mean you had to put faith in God aside?”
Jim Wallis from his book “God’s Politics”
Rev. Alford Alphonse
As a career pastor, I have served in the The United Kingdom, Caribbean, Panama and, of course, in the United States of America. Unlike many here, I have never drawn rigid distinctions between and among the the spiritual teachings of the Bible, social equity and justice. Instead, I have embraced the idea that the Bible and the Gospel call for spirituality to be integrated with social policy and attititudes.
