Sojourners, the “non-partisan,” socialist, Christian group led by Jim Wallis, is planning a march on Washington this weekend.

The major organizer of the weekend’s events is the United for Peace and Justice coalition. We anticipate UFPJ’s speakers and message will be consistent with the social and political vision Sojourners seeks to promote. We are encouraged that UFPJ is now including “faith-based organizing” as a part of its work. There are other organizations involved in the march and rally with whom Sojourners has serious political disagreements, and there will be some speakers whose messages we do not support. But we believe it is a time when Americans must come together for the broader purpose of showing our government that this war must end.

So, with which of the following groups does Sojourners have “serious political disagreements,” and which of them promote messages not supported by Sojourners?

For background on those involved in this demonstration, see the Washington Times and Captain’s Quarters. Their lists include:

George Soros’ Open Society Institute
Theresa Heinz Kerry’ Tides Foundation
International ANSWER
UPJ

Sojourners won’t come forward with specifics about those “serious political disagreements,” so we’re forced to guess which organization(s) might be included.

My money is on “none of the above; we’re just trying to cover our @$$ because we know for a fact that lots of these groups are going to be sounding just fantastically crazy this weekend.”

On a side note, how are the people from World Oil Boycott (PA) and the People for a Gasoline-Free Day getting there? Are they walking, riding bikes or teleporting?
