With musicians such as David Wilcox and Michelle Shocked, and speakers such as Brian McLaren, Jay Bakker, and Shane Claiborne, festival leaders hope to establish the premier venue for 20-somethings who love God but aren't thrilled with institutional Christianity, particularly the religious right.

Jay Bakker is the only name I recognize, him being the son of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. Good grief, has it been that long?
Really, this may be a “Goth” Christian event or an alternative tentmeeting for those who are looking for more than material things to fill them up. It is the same with every generation, those who are looking for God but don’t know it.
I was one of the Jesus Freaks in 1970s.

... to reimagine Christianity for the 21st century under a bigger, wider more inclusive tent.

That happened in 1988 with the formation of the elca. Since then, and into the future, there have just been stragglers.
