Revolution Ministries
Wednesday, May 03, 2006
Ever wonder what happens to the children of televangelists who fall from grace over a sex and money laundering scandal? Well Jay Bakker from the Jim & Tammy Fay fame is one and he is now a preacher like his parents, well not quite like them. On my way to work I was listening to the Rachel Maddow Show and she was interviewing Jay. He now leads a church called Revolution Ministries down in Atlanta, GA. It started out as a punk rock outfit but now is a little bit bigger encompassing a wide range of people. Jay mixes bands and sermons along with speaking engagements around the country. Its an interesting concept and I wonder how the heavyweights (i.e. Robertson, Falwell and Dobson) feel about his approach. They have distanced themselves from his father I wonder if they embrace the "subculture" approach to religion.
