“Christian conservatives are widely known for legislating sexuality and gender issues, but religious people who focus on the social justice message of the Gospels live here, too. They join Black Lives Matter protests; they pray outside prisons on execution days; they defend the rights of their LGBTQ neighbors; they work to protect the environment; they welcome immigrants. They are rarely in the news, so some of these columns describe the work their faith—my own faith—calls us to do.”
