Monday, November 22, 2004 On Media and EvangelicalsI've noticed recently, well ever since the election that more and more media attention is being paid to evangelical political/moral/legal/social ventures. Take for instance this story (Click here! sorry registration required) from the New York Times which is about conservative, evangelical law schools. It specifically talks about the new law school at Liberty University. Also I read an op ed piece this morning where a writer discovered evangelical theme parks and was amazed. I believe we are beginning to see the mainstream media suddenly uncover the evangelical sub-culture that has been going on for the past 25 years. The major players in the media markets seem to be awstruck that such things are going on, in spite of what they've attempted to teach us. Also it seems that they are uniquely enfranchised with the prospect that all of these ventures are a unified grassroots movement towards a more reformed society. In my estimation these media types are quite astounded at the complexity of the movements and the large veracity of their participants. While I, and perhaps you, have known about many of these for years it seems that our leading media moguls have been caught off guard and are rushing to find some solid footing to understand all of this. Interesting thoughts. Maybe we are going to see a dawning spiritual reformation in our world, facilitated by the mainstream media. Well I'm off for the day...forthcoming theobloggy! posted by Preachin Jesus | 3:21 PM | |
