It notes that young evangelicals are more likely to be concerned about the environment and more likely to believe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amidst the proliferation of religion stories to coincide with Easter, the Newsweek cover story is a fantastic piece that has depth and currency. Written by the magazine&#8217;s editor, Jon Meacham, it is beautifully researched, engagingly written and strongly argued. It draws out a number of different points of view and possibilities around the theme of what [...]]]></description>

After Rep Mark Foley was introduced to the world by a White House page, Rev Ted Haggard hits the media courtesy of a Denver prostitute called Mike Jones. Not only did the (now former) president of the National Association of Evangelicals pay Jones for sex [...]]]></description>

They are a deliberate attempt to reach and influence those who will hold key culturally influential positions. Some interesting data about the rise of evangelicals in class terms: As late as 1965, for example, a white mainline [...]]]></description>

More widely read than any of his books were the images of the suffering, dying man; a message, many believe, that [...]]]></description>
