Dear Mr. Beck,

I have just learned of your encouraging Christians to leave churches that preach social justice.

Do you read your Bible much? Jesus, the Christ that Christians follow, was a social justice activist. Read the Gospels. The early church was replete with social and economic justice efforts. Read the Book of Acts and Paul’s letters. And don’t ignore the Old Testament. It too is full of social justice stories.

Read the Gospels, Mr. Beck. Read them aloud so you hear the words. If Christian churches aren’t at least in part about social and economic justice, they are not wholly Christian.
