The Rev. Jim Wallis has long been a voice for the religious left, calling on principles of social justice developed in the turbulent 1960s, and principles of evangelicalism inspired by his Christian faith. His most recent book is titled “The Great Awakening: Reviving Faith and Politics in a Post-Religious Right America.” The 60-year-old Washingtonian and founder of Sojourners spent the past week hosting a conference on ending poverty, including a thousand-person prayer vigil outside the Rayburn House Office Building.

Do you consider yourself to be of a specific faith?
