SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- A leading voice in the social justice movement said Democrats allow Republicans to define how religion is discussed in public.

The Rev. Jim Wallis is the founder and editor of Sojourners magazine and convener of the anti-poverty Call to Renewal network of faith-based organizations.

He said that by making faith private, Democrats ignore the contributions of religious organizations to social movements and allow Republicans to define how religion is discussed in public.
