George Regas, pastor emeritus of All Saints Episcopal Church, Pasadena, is one of the leading voices in the faith-based movement for peace and justice in Southern California. He is the founder of Regas Institute, which is dedicated to the study of progressive religious causes, and Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace (ICUJP), which facilitates interfaith dialogue on important moral issues of the time. A sermon he delivered at All Saints the Sunday before the 2004 election led to an audit by the IRS and public debate about the role of the pulpit and politics.
