Santa Cruz IndymediaAUDIO: Jim Wallis speaks in Santa Cruz 9/12/06
On 9/12/06 at the First Congregational Church in Santa Cruz, The Resource Center for Nonviolence (www.rcnv.org) and Barrios Unidos (www.barriosunidos.net) hosted Rev. Jim Wallis of the Sojourners spiritual community (www.sojo.net). Rev. Wallis spoke in Santa Cruz to a crowd of nearly four hundred about his new book "God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It". From the book jacket: "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?"  ga_jwallis.jpg Mr. Wallis is introduced by Nane Alejandrez of Barrios Unidos, which like the Resource Center for Nonviolence, is also celebrating its 30th anniversary of peace and justice work. Before introducing Rev. Wallis, Mr. Alejandrez invites David Beaudry to sing a song called "Street Church" which is included in the first file. After the speech by Rev. Wallis, Rev. Shannon Spencer of the First Congregational Church introduces a panel made up of representatives from different religions. The panel includes:
-Samina Faheem Sundas, President of American Muslim Voice -Rabbi Paula Marcus, A local associate rabbi -Rev. Rene Shlapfer, Sr. Pastor of Twin Lakes Church -Sheila Lynch, Director of Peace and Justice, Diocese of Monterey After the panelists respond to Rev. Wallis' speech, he responds to their questions and comments to finish the evening. The first audio file which is 50 min 42 sec long, consists of Mr. Alejandrez, Mr. Beaudry, and Rev. Wallis' speech. The second audio file is 28 min 25 sec long and consists of Rev. Spencer introducing the panel, their responses, and Rev. Wallis' responses to their comments and questions.
