“We Can’t Food-Bank Our Way to the End of Hunger” It has to be unacceptable, in the richest nation in the world, for so many people to be poor.... For the health of the nation, for the soul of the nation, and for a good economy, you want people participating in an economy. Throughout the Scripture, were told that a society will be judged by how they treat the least among them. Our political leaders also must be assessed through the measure of their commitment to the poor and most vulnerable. Though political advisers are telling their candidates that they shouldnt talk about poverty, as people of faith we must and will disagree. That is why, as each presidential candidate declares, the faith community will hold them accountable by asking them all-Republicans and Democrats alike--to answer the question: How will you treat those Jesus has called the least of these? --Jim Wallis, Sojourners
