CNN's Young Evangelical Piece

All morning CNN has been running a story about Young Evangelicals with footage of a recent revival in Nashville that took place over several days filled with rock concerts, dancing, fasting, praying, and yes - politics.

According to the piece young Christians want to hold politicians accountable.

And while they once supported Republicans and the President - young evangelical Christians have dropped in their support from 87% to 47%. That's compared to overall republican support that shows a recent drop from 55% support to 35%.

While these folks are wresting with the world - CNN reports that some are also trying to understand why the government isn't working on issues that matter more than the big 3 (gay marriage, abortion, and prayer). Instead their new issues surround immigration and poverty.

But not all of these youngsters follow this new "revelation" a young woman the story follows - Sarah Morris - says, "our vote is not the economy or war our vote is pro-life."

Nearby the revival Alyssa Adams and other activists are registering voters and talking about how important it is for them to get out the vote for the Presidential election.

Keep your eyes pealed today for the piece and as soon as I see it posted on CNN I'll update. It gives a good picture of the things I've been talking about in relation to the evangelical youth movement.

Young Evangelicals

Heard about the piece today on CNN about young evangelicals at The Call Nashville. We are StandUSA, the young evangelicals that were interviewed. Can anyone tell us the name of the story that CNN ran today so we can get a copy? CNN has not been very helpful in getting the information. Thanks.
