If you follow the Colbert Report & the Daily Show or read the Christian Century, you're aware of the Glenn Beck (Fox news) screed from March 2nd 2010: "I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church website. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social/Economic justice they are code words (ideas espoused by Nazis and Communists). Now, am I people to leave their church? Yes." Bread for the World, Rev. Jim Wallis (Sojourners) and other progressive Christians have renounced Glenn for his comments. His past nonsensical tirades and rants have been fodder for numerous commentaries. I pray that this latest diatribe will elicit a backlash from progressive Christians in every quarter. Many pastors, including myself, have been saying it before Colbert made it his catch phrase, so along with Stephen let me say: That's the Word!
