there are certain advantages to being in a small pond... you know the other fish, it's easier to make waves, swimming in the same direction is sometimes the only option. you stick together. at the core of the jesus people movement of the 1970s was a tight, outsider community. people who just didn't belong.
counterculture, they didn't understand the old hymns or formal dress styles of christian culture. counterculture, they didn't champion (at least not wholesale) the free love and experimental drug culture of youth culture.
like the new believers in Acts, they were neither gentile nor Jew. and so began a small movement.
a very small pond.
