Democrats, reeling from the Republicans' success at courting
churchgoers, are focusing new attention on a religious and political
anomaly: Jim Wallis, one of the few prominent left-leaning leaders
among evangelical Protestants.
At the start of the Congressional session, Senate Democrats invited Mr.
Wallis to address their members at a private session to discuss issues.
A group of about 15 House Democrats invited him to a breakfast
discussion about dispelling their party's secular image. And NBC News
has enlisted him to appear as a guest during its inauguration coverage
opposite Dr. James C. Dobson, one of the most prominent evangelical
conservatives.
