The Political Scene | The New Yorker | Jun 5, 2017
Politics and religion go hand in hand for the Reverend William J. Barber II of the Greenleaf Christian Church.

But conservative Christians who focus on banning abortion and limiting gay rights, Barber thinks, may be guilty of “heresy.” He talks with David Remnick about bringing morality back to contemporary politics.
