The new compassionate conservatives
The new compassionate conservatives
Pentecostals, not Liberation Theology advocates, make a difference for the world's poor
By now it's old news that Africa and South America are replacing Europe and North America as Christian centers, and that the fastest-growing kind of Christianity in the South is Pentecostalism. But Global Pentecostalism: The New Face of Christian Social Engagement (University of California Press, 2007) by Donald Miller and Tetsunao Yamamori shows us how Pentecostalism is also beginning to pack a social and political punch.

Looks like an interesting article. I like World magazine... I need to subscribe again.

Re: The new compassionate conservatives
Sorry you all can't see the whole article but here is another excerpt that I thought was interesting.
Pastors, without neglecting preaching, are building basketball courts for kids, vaccinating children, distributing food, providing marriage counseling, showing movies, helping people get home improvement loans, and much besides. Pentecostals by preaching and showing true liberation are routing Liberation Theology; as one theologian put it, "Liberation Theology opted for the poor at the same time that the poor were opting for Pentecostalism."

WHAT!!! Showing movies??? I hope that those are not "TV" or "Theater" movies... No makeup or dramatization of anything that could be construed as unholy!
I am soooo bad!
