Rev. Adam Taylor is the newly appointed president of Sojourners and author of Mobilizing Hope: Faith-Inspired Activism for a Post-Civil Rights Generation. His forthcoming book, A More Perfect Union: A New Vision for Building the Beloved Community, is out on September 14. Adam is ordained through the American Baptist Churches USA and the Progressive National Baptist Convention and he serves in ministry at the Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Va. In this episode, Adam and Rev. Michael-Ray Mathews talked about how he defines the Beloved Community, the myth of America being a Christian nation, and how we inherited the unfinished business of the Civil Rights Movement.
