Because of their growing power in recent years, everything from opposition to abortion to gay bashing, are often presented as mainstream Christian responses. Today on Democracy Now!, we look at another kind of Christian political activism — one based in a sense of social justice, that defends women’s rights and that seeks to feed the hungry, house the homeless and comfort the sick.
