Filling Christianity’s “Gnarly Niche”
By Jeremy | September 4, 2007
ABC Nightline reports on "extreme sports, evangelical style" led by unUsual Suspect Stephen Baldwin:
"This is by no means the first attempt to make Christianity cool. Anybody remember the 1980s band Stryper? ... Whether you think Stryper rocks or not, the evangelical youth movement seems to have grown significantly since then. ... Over the past decade and a half, the sales of Christian music are up 300% and enrollment at Christian colleges has skyrocketed. ... 'This is a youth movement that cuts across demographic lines that includes punk rock kids, nascar kids, cowboy kids, preppy kids, you name it.'"Watch the Nightline video here.
