The Death Of Orange County Evangelism

A book making the rounds among evangelical pastors these days is called The Great Evangelical Recession. Written by John S. Dickerson, a former investigative journalist turned evangelical pastor, it chronicles in unsparing statistical detail how evangelical Christianity is hemorrhaging members, money, and influence. “The United States has shifted into a … post-Christian age,” he writes. “No one disputes this.”

Jim Hinch (author of the article) is a religion correspondent for the Orange County Register.
I remember when the Orange County Register was a very conservative paper. Now with the proliferation of religions mentioned in the article what kind of politics suit? Libertarian politics. And the current Orange County Register reflects that.

My own local paper - The Rockford Register Star -in a community that had "Jesus is Lord" billboards all over town when I moved here now has a columnist that is libertarian in style. Scott Reeder. His focus is strictly on economic issues.
