A local pastor around here wrote a script for one of those Halloween plays intended to scare people into repentance. Supposedly, it's been copied by over 3000 churches. Now it's going to New York as an off-Broadway play. I'm very curious to see how that goes over in Manhattan.
Having spent the past 7 1/2 years in Portland, Princeton, and now Denver, I've started to assume that this type of theology is fading away in our country. Particularly among youth, my own experience is that they are less and less willing to even claim Christ as the exclusive Savior, because that smacks of intolerance. And those who are willing to make such an exclusive claim realize the need to be tactful in their high schools, and keep a distance from the perceptions of Christianity given by popular culture.
It seems clear that the religious far right continues to be very visible in the media, giving the impression of a growing movement, but are they attracting youth? If so, where are they coming from? They must be a very different breed than any students that I've ever come across.
