Over 50 Christian leaders voiced their support for the recently agreed framework of a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action between Iran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Britain, France, Russia and China plus Germany) concerning Iran’s nuclear program, and urged the US officials to be sincere in their talks with their Iranian counterparts.

Sojourners published the leaders’ statement as a full-page ad in Roll Call, a Washington, D.C., political newspaper widely read by members of Congress and their staff.

The statement was signed by leaders from all the major streams of American Christianity, including Roman Catholic, evangelical, mainline Protestant, Orthodox, and Pentecostal.

"We want to share this letter with you, the Sojourners community, and the broader public; I urge you to prayerfully consider adding your own voice in support of the diplomatic process and share the opportunity with others. Read it, discuss it in your churches, and add your name," the statement said.
