Talk:Sojourners

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was a benefit because I had not heard of Sojourners before. The reason for not deleting it is that it does not meet any criteria to delist under "Reasons" (it appears original, verifiable, neutral and good). The 'delist' requestor had not followed any of the guidelines and should have Wik privilages removed. The article appears suitable (as this discussion clearly needs to take place), appropriate (as a distinct identifiable organization) and notable (in that Dr James Wallis was a panelist at Davos, WEF 1/25/07, where Thomas Friedman was the moderator, other panelists were the Mayasian PM, former Iranian President Khatami, and a Saudi Royal Princess and Univ Trustee) re-broadcast 2/23/07. Why is it this article was listed for deletion on the same day as the re-broadcast of this important conference ? I think it was disingenuious !! Please amend the article as necessary and remove the privilages of the delist proponent (was that K-Bomb ?).

[edit] Previous Comment

This article is extremely biased. I have never read anything in Sojourners that would indicate that it is a liberal organization. It is a moderate but passionate organization concerned with following the teachings of Jesus Christ. The statement that it is "left-leaning" is unfair---Jim Wallis explicitly states again and again that, while being on far right is dangerous, being on the far left is too. Please revise this article.

[edit] Previous Statement

I wrote the previous statement that defended Sojourners. I want to rescind any thing I said that gave the impression that Sojourners is an unbiased, fair publication. They are a distinctly liberal and it is extremely dishonest for them to advertise with a slogan like "Not from the left, not from the right, but from the Spirit." I have no qualms about them claiming they are from the Holy Spirit, what I have a problem with is an organization thats about as unbiased as moveon.org luring in moderates with claims of political neutrality that turn out to be completely bogus. I have left their organization because I cannot stand any longer their nasty and hypocritical attacks on conservative Christians.

[edit] Reasons for not creating?

I'm kind of surprised there's not a page for this, there really ought to be. I checked the deletion log, but the reason given leads to a non-existent page. Is there a reason there "shouldn't" be an article on "Sojourners" or that I shouldn't create an article here? Inexorability 04:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
