About the magazine

Sojourners is a Christian nonprofit organization founded in 1971 by a group of seminarians led by Jim Wallis. Rooted in the evangelical tradition but known for its progressive stance on social justice, the organization publishes Sojourners magazine, operates a website, and engages in advocacy on issues such as poverty, racial justice, and peace. Its mission is to articulate the biblical call to social justice, inspiring hope and building a movement to transform individuals, communities, the church, and the world. While primarily a journalistic and advocacy platform, Sojourners occasionally invites submissions of articles, poetry, and visual art that align with its mission.

Editorial focus

Sojourners magazine sits at the intersection of faith, politics, and culture. Sojourners’ three key commitments are racial and social justice, life and peace, and environmental stewardship. They are an ecumenical Christian magazine committed to social justice.
