William J. Barber II, a progressive Christian leader and the co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, posted online his views on the broader themes of social progress.

“Mercy and justice are not polar opposites. They are, in fact, pillars on which to build a Third Reconstruction of American society.”

Barber will deliver the sermon at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Service, which is traditionally held the day after the inauguration at the Washington National Cathedral.

This year, the service will be virtual, with the newly sworn-in president and vice president joining the service from the White House.
