BJC is clearly a left-leaning organization. https://bjconline.org/mission-history/

It’s sad that conservative Christians in the political sector aren’t willing to be self-critical and confront the various unhealthy nationalisms the right has become infected with. There’s some truth in the BJC report, but it will be easily dismissed because of BJC’s alignment with secularists on the left.
