this was written a couple of months ago... not sure why I never posted it...
On tonight's The National from CBC, Mark Kelly's Seven segment (viewable here)takes him across the South looking at American Evangelicals, with a focus on the youth movement.
Kelly's coverage is refreshingly evenhanded, even for someone who's self described as "so secular."
His seven day journey starts with XXXChurch.com's anti-porn crusade (spotlighted in the documentary Missionary Positions -available here on Google video).
The Holy Land Experience in Orlando is his next stop, where
San Antonio Christian Film Academy
Teen Mania
Communicators for Christ... these guys came off as, well, the debate team dweebs of the scene.
Acquire the Fire. AtF has the dubious honor of being, well, mocked in an episode of South Park as Christfest. ATF is going to be in Norfolk March 16-17

"In seven days, God didn't change my life, but the Christians did...while I don't think they're going to change my world, now I understand why they want to."

Understanding's always good. For both sides.

edit:...oops. Looks like I didn't really finish it either. d'oh... I feel lazy and I'm going to leave it as posted. that'll teach me to post with dry contacts on
