movement even has its own journals,
educational projects, research institutes
and proposed textbook».
But the evangelicals are concerned
with more than textbooks. What seems to
motivate them is a growing disenchant
ment not with science and intellertual-
ism, but with their fruits as they began to
be reflected in the late 1960’s in the
highly technological urban centers of
Texas and Southern California.
Mounting protests over the Vietnam
war, the proliferation of new “radical"
life-styles, and the spread of “loose mor
als" increasingly alarmed the evangelical
constituency. Nor were they pleased to
see new cults ba. d on Eastern mysti
cism springing up in their midst - or to
note that “pot" was being smoked so
promiscuously.
The famous social critic. Thorstein
Veblen, referred to the fundamentalism
of the 1920’s as a form of postwar “ner
vous prostration”, and in much the same
sense the new fundamentalism is a reac
tion to pressures and tensions stemming
from rapid change.
In a world which seems to be coming
apart at the seams, the emphasis on a
Bible whose veracity is beyond question
is immensely reassuring.
I t is hard to see, however, how the
evangelical movement can, in the long
run, retain its cohesion. In time the evan
gelicals are likely to divide on the basis
of status, education, income and achieve
ment.
The middle income evangelicals will
identify less and less with the political
and economic elites aa they emerge, with
their performing arts centers and hand
some new museums, in the new sunbelt
cities.
But for the moment, the evangelicals
constitute a powerful new constituency in
a region booming with wealth, population
and political power.

A. Lee Henderson. Minister
Hard-Working. God-Fearing
The rise of the evangelicals parallels
the emergence of the Sunbelt as the
nation's major new area of economic
growth. Religion has been described as
the art of self encouragement, and the
evangelical sects have provided impor
tant psychological and social boosts to the
region's newcomers - particularly South
erners and other low income Americans,
many of whom came from strong evan
gelical backgrounds.
Flooding into jerry-built subdivisions,
these entrants to the defense and aero
space dominated sunbelt economy are
anxious to acquire middle-class status.
But the older Protestant churches tend to
be less than totally open, more formal and
discriminatory. Dress, education and life
style act as social barriers.
The doors of the evangelical sects, in
contrast, are wide open. Only a simple
declaration of faith is required for mem
bership.
Like others who are in the process of
"making it”, the evangelicals are inclined
to attribute their success to the fact that
they are hard-w orking, God-fearing
types. As such, they are easily persuaded
