Evangelicals in NYC

Interesting article from the New York Times last Sunday that I've been meaning to mention. The number of evangelical Christians in New York City is thought to be between 1 and 1.5 million. And, the number is rising fast.

The Times article says that it's still difficult to assess what political impact this will have, but it seems certain that it will move the political center to the right.

Maybe this article will be the start of the Times's effort to understand Christianity today. I'm far from an expert on the variations in Protestantism, but I'm aware that there is a difference between Evangelicals and Fundamentalists even if I'm not realy sure what those differences are.
