Colson-Wallis debate

Chuck Colson's recent Breakpoint commentary, "Moral Equivalency: The Religious Left Gets It Wrong," prompted this response from Jim Wallis, "An open letter to Chuck Colson," to which Colson has now replied in "An Open Letter to Jim Wallis." Perhaps Wallis will offer a rejoinder. In any event, I will at some point weigh in on this debate.
