In July 2010, [[Marvin Olasky]], editor-in-chief of [[WORLD Magazine]], accused Sojourners of having accepted money from [[George Soros]], who has financed groups supporting abortion and atheism.<ref>http://www.worldmag.com/articles/16873</ref> [[Jim Wallis]] responded to this accusation as follows: “It’s not hyperbole or overstatement to say that Glenn Beck lies for a living. I’m sad to see Marvin Olasky doing the same thing. No, we don’t receive money from Soros… [T]ell Marvin he should check his facts, and not imitate Glenn Beck.”<ref>http://online.worldmag.com/2010/08/18/wallissoros-update/</ref> However, Wallis later admitted that he had been mistaken, and that Sojourners had, in fact, accepted funds from Soros’ [[Open Society Institute]]; Wallis stated that the funds made up “the tiniest fraction of Sojourners' funding during that decade -- so small that I hadn't remembered them.”<ref>http://online.worldmag.com/2010/08/18/wallissoros-update/</ref>. According to Olasky, the grants from the [[Open Society Institute]] totaled $325,000.<ref>http://www.worldmag.com/webextra/17052</ref> |

Sojourners magazine, a monthly publication of the Christian social justice organization Sojourners Community, was first published in 1971 under the original title of The Post-American. The offices of the magazine are in Washington D.C.
Sojourners has consistently won awards from both the Associated Church Press and the Evangelical Press Association. In 2009, it won the first place “best in class” award from both.
The founding editor-in-chief is Jim Wallis, author of God's Politics and other titles that blend political and spiritual commentary; the current editor is Jim Rice. Contributing editors include Richard Rohr, Diana Butler Bass, and Cornel West. The magazine publishes editorials and articles on Christian life, the church and the world, Christianity and politics, and the church and social issues. Articles frequently feature coverage of fair trade, interfaith dialogue, peacemaking, and work to alleviate poverty.
The mission of the publication is to "inspire hope and action by articulating the biblical call to racial and social justice, life and peace, and environmental stewardship."[1]
The magazine was originally published quarterly, then every other month, and since January 2004 has been published eleven times per year, with a single issue published for September and October.
The Sojourners Collection is maintained by Wheaton College in its Archives and Special Collections. Collected materials include magazine issues, correspondence, original manuscripts and administrative papers, as well as information on the Sojourners Community, Jim Wallis, and other communities and organizations affiliated with the publisher.[2][3]
The Washington Post reported that Sojourners rented its mailing list to Barack Obama's presidential campaign.[4]
