Front page story in Sunday's NYTimes. Just in ther nick of time. An extraordinary article about the expanding role of Christians in the economic and cultural elite and their instutions, and their increasing financial strength and power in America. A MUST READ!

Just read the whole piece. Amazingly un-insulting. The Times must be trying to diversify and reach out.

Thanks for posting this, I certainly didn't know that evangelicals were 25% of the population, I think Roman Catholics are another 20% or so. Gives one hope. The article also gives one hope for the young people of today.

Contrary to the media reports, Christianity is the fastest growing faith on earth.

Moreover, evangelical Christianity is the most rapidly growing faith in the United States.

Many of these ivy league schools were started and "still are" (at least on paper) as Christian schools...

There's something big stirring below the surface if the NYT is now taking notice!

Great article!

Does anyone know if this group is on other campuses? Balance is surely needed.

As an alumna I have hesitated giving money to my school. Now I know just where to write that check.

Has anyone seen anything by David Horowitz on this topic? He is usually excellent on this type of academic issues.
