Description
He was raised a evangelical christian who became disillusioned with the church. Began identifying with the poor in the inner-city. Turned to the anti-war movement during Vietnam.
He could never truly abandon the teachings of Jesus and eventually realized that a life of faith as a disciple of Christ did not fit in with American Christianity. Wallis is convinced that Jesus calls us to be peacemakers in which we renounce all violence, and tells us that the myths of security and prosperity are contrary to God's kingdom in which the first shall be made last and the last shall be first.
