The quotation below comes from this article.

‘Rick Warren is at the forefront of a kind of younger generation of evangelical Protestant leaders who want to have a Christian public presence in the culture, but who are less tied to the Republican politics of their predecessors,’ said Andrew Walsh, the associate director of the Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life at Trinity College, in Hartford. ‘They’re values-oriented guys, but less convinced that either their own principles or the best politics lies in a total commitment to the Republican Party.’

No doubt that younger evangelical voter is less Republican and more ‘values-oriented.’ I am (registered Independent). And I find this to be the general pulse of my generation and younger.

But is Rick Warren at the ‘forefront’? Does my generation and younger look to him as a leader in this? Or is he more akin to our parents’ generation?

What do you think?
