Blessed be the rebels · 6 March 06

Skateboard Bible study groups; evangelical tattoo parlors; Christian Goth CDs… since when is church so hardcore?

According to the New York Times, today’s Christian youth leaders are connecting the spirit and tactics of alt-culture marketing with “the original rebellion”—the revolutionary teachings of Jesus:

What we do looks extreme because it’s an indictment of the idea of Christianity that so many of us have settled for. When we look at the early church, it was very revolutionary. Jesus sat down to rethink revolution. He was able to set both the oppressed and the oppressors free.
