I'll be honest - I haven't read this whole article yet. But it's significant - major coverage in Newsweek, so I thought I'd pass it along.
An Evangelical Identity Crisis: Sex or social justice? The war between the religious right and believers who want to go broader.
Here's one killer quote:
Bill Hybels, who leads the Willow Creek organization of mega-churches—an association of 11,000 churches in 45 countries—has recently befriended the Irish rock star Bono. At Willow Creek's annual meeting last summer, the highlight was a video of Hybels and Bono hashing over the fate of the world. Bono quoted scripture (Luke, chapter 4); the crowd wept. Cally Parkinson, who runs the Willow Creek media-relations department, was there. As she was leaving, she overheard one pastor say to another, "I went in there wondering if Bono was a Christian, and I came out wondering if I was."
Wow.
