"At this briefing, panelists will discuss whether common ground can be found on the role of religion in public life during the president's second term and beyond. Jim Wallis, founder and editor of Sojourners magazine, will discuss his new book, God's Politics: Why the Right Gets it Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It (HarperSanFrancisco, 2005), in which he says that the political right has hijacked the language of faith for its political agenda. He argues that the left has largely ignored faith by separating moral discourse and personal ethics from public policy."
