“Socially conscious, cause-focused and controversy-averse”

Amy Sullivan:

Today's young Evangelicals…are socially conscious, cause-focused and controversy-averse. And they are quickly becoming a growth market for secular service organizations like Teach for America. Overall applications to Teach for America have doubled since 2007 as job prospects have dimmed for college graduates. But applications have tripled from graduates of Christian colleges and universities.

Sullivan uses the involvement in Teach for America as a jumping-off point to discuss the characteristics of young evangelicals. Worth your while to read.
