Vox article on celebrity christians

[refugee]

Saw this Vox article in my news feed today.

“It used to be that to be an evangelical Christian was to be like Kirk Cameron or Jeff Foxworthy, old and irrelevant and consigned to made-for-TV B-movies. But there is an effort from churches like Zoe and Hillsong underway — probably more unconscious than deliberate — to make Christianity accessible, cool, and interesting to young people. This form of Christianity involves fashion, music, and, of course, celebrity, since modern American evangelicalism has always spread in part by being adjacent to power.”

It reminds me of all the hipster fundies we see popping up everywhere. No one recruits youngsters with frumpers.
