Adam Taylor succeeds Jim Wallis at Sojourners

Adam Taylor has been named the new president of Sojourners, the national Christian social justice advocacy organization founded and led by Jim Wallis since the 1970s.

Wallis will continue working with Sojourners under the new title of founder and ambassador. In July he will also join the faculty of Georgetown University as director of a new center focused on “faith, public life, and the common good.”

The move was timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the founding of Sojourners. The new role for Taylor was approved at a meeting of the board of directors on November 12 and was effective immediately.
