As the former director of Sojourners, I can tell you that it's about
as secular a charity as it gets. Though it was formerly affiliated
with the YWCA, they decided that (1) the YWCA name was too restrictive
and (2) that it was a secular organization that probably didn't need
the C in its name.

Plus, the financial problems at Sojourners are over and done with. I
can pretty much assure you that if you send that $100 to Sojourners,
it'll be well-spent -- God knows they don't overpay their staff.
