“Now, am I advising people to leave their church? Yes!” he exclaimed!
Anti- poverty Christian groups are up in arms after popular political commentator Glenn Beck urged Christians to leave their church if it talks about social justice.
Beck, a Mormon, said the word “social justice” is code for communism and Nazism.
“Beck says Christians should leave their social justice churches,” wrote the Rev. Jim Wallis, CEO of the social justice ministry Sojourners, in response to Beck’s comments.

Wallis said the Bible from beginning to the end is clear that social justice is an “integral part of God’s plan for humanity.”
