Theologian activists to visit Durban

Theologian activists to visit Durban

Date: 2014-08-08
Prominent US author / activist / theologian Jim Wallis and his trailblazing theologian wife Joy Carroll Wallis will be in KZN for a series of public events in August, hosted by Diakonia Council of Churches in Durban.

Jim Wallis is a New York Times bestselling author, public theologian, speaker, and international commentator on ethics and public life. He recently served on the White House Advisory Council on faith-based and Neighbourhood Partnerships and currently serves as the vice chair of the Global Agenda Council on Values of the World Economic Forum. He is president and founder of Sojourners, where he is also editor-in-chief ofSojournersmagazine.

TheSojourners Community- founded by Jim Wallis - is aninternational community that was started in the early 1970s by a group of students at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Joy Carroll Wallis grew up in the inner city of South London, England, as the child of an Anglican priest, and was one of the first women to be ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church of England in 1994 following a hard fought struggle for equality.

They have a vast itinerary of commitments while they are in South Africa with their teenage sons, Luke and Jack. Two highlights, both of which are open to the public, are a National Women's Day Worship and Dinner with Joy Carroll Wallis to be held on Saturday 9 August from 5.30pm at the Pinetown Methodist Church, hosted by the Diakonia Council of Churches. Everyone is welcome, tickets R100.

Jim Wallis speaks passionately to this theme: "The failure of political leaders to help uplift the poor will be judged a moral failure,"he observed. "Two of the greatest hungers in our world today are the hunger for spirituality and the hunger for social change. The connection between the two is the one the world is waiting for, especially the new generation. And the first hunger will empower the second."
