(Reuters) – Since President Donald Trump’s election, monthly lectures on social justice at the 600-seat Gothic chapel of New York’s Union Theological Seminary have been filled to capacity with crowds three times what they usually draw.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the nine years that Reverend Serene Jones has served as its president, she has never seen such crowds.\u00a0“The election of Trump has been a clarion call to progressives in the Protestant and Catholic churches in America to move out of a place of primarily professing progressive policies to really taking action,” she said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
