There is a revolution going on.  Followers of Jesus in the US are taking to the streets, concerned about a wider variety of social issues, believing that the church has something to say about this issues, and must say something about these issues.

This new voice recognizes that we do not live in a Christian nation, if we ever did. This new voice in the public square recognizes that it speaks a holistic gospel message from the margins. This marginalized position actually gives the church a more potent voice.  The church does not speak from a trimphalistic, I’ve got it (the gospel), you need it, I am going to beat you over the head with it, Christendom stance.
