The Rockhurst University Center for Arts & Letters presents its latest event as part of the Visiting Scholar Lecture Series:

Through the co-sponsorship of the Georgetown Club of Kansas City, Jim Wallis, Founding Director of the Center for Faith and Justice at Georgetown University and the Founder and editor of Sojourners magazine, will join Rockhurst University on April 23 for a discussion about his new book, The False White Gospel: Rejecting Christian Nationalism, Reclaiming True Faith, and Refounding Democracy.

Wallis is a writer, teacher, preacher and justice advocate who believes the gospel of Jesus must be emancipated from its cultural and political captivities. He is a New York Times bestselling author, public theologian, preacher and commentator on ethics and public life.

He is the inaugural holder of the Georgetown Chair in Faith and Justice. In 2022, Washingtonian magazine named Wallis one of the 500 most influential people shaping policy in DC.
