The Elliott Bay Book Company

Co-presented with SEATTLE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. A most welcome return to Seattle, Seattle First Baptist Church, and an evening convened, in part by Elliott Bay, is made by the inspiringly energetic Jim Wallis. Through writing (numerous books), publishing (Sojourners Magazine), and perpetual travel/activity, he has been among the most dedicated and persistent of those within Christianity in working to assert values that would largely qualify as liberal, politically, arguing that these were and are formative to proper, rooted Christian teaching. He is here this evening with his timely new book, Rediscovering Values: On Wall Street, Main Street, and Your Street: A Moral Compass for the New Economy (Howard). This book poses challenges, and prescriptions for change—within institutions and religions, and within the people who practice them. To be addressed at least as much as an economic recovery, he would say, is a moral recovery. Admission is free on a first-come, first-serve basis. Seattle Baptist Church is at 1111 Harvard Avenue (at Seneca). For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600.
