It was 1970. Peace signs bloomed everywhere that spring and there was a coffee house and war protest on every corner. Acoustic prophets, Baez and Dylan, sang war protests. Collegians dropped out, tuned in and headed to San Francisco -- with flowers in their hair. The times, they were changing.
Amid the foment, The Jesus People emerged. They came to Jesus in droves -- with long hair, beards, bare feet and tattered jeans. And they didn't give it up.
As new believers, they were uncomfortable, and frankly unwelcome, in middle class evangelical circles.
And organically, a new brand of faith community emerged: house churches, servant communities, communes.
Decentralized, deeply relational and counter-culture.
As our children, a new generation of idealists, face a world as deeply embattled as we did the time has come again.
