This is one time, perhaps, that I wished I watched the Glenn Beck program. On the Religion News Service website, he has the "Quote of the Day."
The quote as run on RNS is: "I beg you, look for the words `social justice' or `economic justice' on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, am I advising people to leave their church? Yes. "
I wish I watched that program because I would want to know the context for his remark. I happen to believe that justice is a major theme in Christian scripture and that scripture teaches and enjoins the person of faith to seek both social and economic justice. Thus, I have no clue what Mr. Beck was objecting to. Also, I wish I knew for what he thinks "social justice" and "economic justice" are codes.
When you check out a church website, do the phrases so condemned by Mr. Beck send you fleeing or do they pique your interest?

Well, Mr. Beck just wants people to join his church (the Mormon Church) where social and economic justice are non-existent. -Charlotte
