In a video on the ABC news site, Dan Harris hosts a ten-minute interview with five young(ish) articulate evangelicals who are showing the 'new face' of Christians in the States (and elsewhere). Pastor Jon Tyson, of Trinity Grace Church [photo at left], Gabe Lyons, the founder of Q, Shannon Sedgwick Davis of Bridgeway Foundation, Tyler Wigg-Stevenson, the founder of Two Futures Project, and Nicole Baker Fulgham of Teach for America.
These are a high-powered bunch, possibly not entirely typical of your average Evangelical. Their big focus is on issues, and how Christians see justice and mercy in the world. Between them this group is working on child trafficking and kidnapping, education, nuclear disarmament, to name just a few.
One of them points out that the world should be a better place for most people because there are Christians working alongside them.
In spite of its ten minutes, this is a very short introduction to several people who are worth following up in terms of what they're achieving. They may not be household names yet, nevertheless, keep your eyes on them.
Click on the links above for more information on each of these people and what they and their churches or organisations are doing.
Focusing on Mission, Ministry & Leadership, Wellness and NZ Trends. Every day we come across material that's helpful to those ministering in the Church. Some of it is vital, some of it is just plain interesting. This blog will aim to include a wide mix of resource material: links to other blogs and sites, helpful quotes, anecdotal material you can use, the names of books worth reading and more.
