Jim Wallis - founder of Sojourners and spiritual adviser to President Obama - has given a warm endorsement to the Contextual Theology Centre's resource pack on faith and the financial crisis:
Bless you for doing this pack. It looks terrific... The protestors are creating space for conversation, so why don't we enter that space and have that conversation with them?
