  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]History of the Jesus Movement[/font]





[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]For more information on the Jesus Movement, order "The Jesus People Movement: An Annotated Bibliography and General Resource" - now available. [/font]





[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]By most accounts, the Jesus People Movement began in 1967 with the opening of a small storefront evangelical mission called the Living Room in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury district. Though other missionary type organizations had preceded them in the area, this was the first one run solely by street Christians. [/font][size=-1]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Within a short time of these first stirrings a number of independent Christian communities sprang up all across North America. In Seattle, the Jesus People Army was born in response to a vision experienced by evangelist Linda Meissner, who had seen an "army of teenagers marching for Jesus." On the Sunset Strip, evangelist Arthur Blessitt opened the His Place nightclub and coffeehouse as a 24 hour way station for youth. At the University of California at Berkeley, Dr. Jack Sparks and some other members of Campus Crusade decided to begin a countercultural outreach program called the Christian Liberation World Front (CWLF) directed towards reaching campus radicals.

Who can forget people like Barry McGuire and The Second Chapter of Acts?
We need a great multitude of people TODAY who will revive the rest who are slumbering away in their Christianity!
Those who have been without are those whose hunger is perhaps greater.
