Into the Grey: The Left, Progressivism, and Christian Rock in Uptown Chicago
Journal Title: Religions - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Founded in 1972, Jesus People USA (JPUSA) is an evangelical ―intentional community‖ located in Chicago‘s Uptown neighborhood. Living out of a common purse arrangement, this inner-city commune strives to counter much of what the Right stands for. An expression of the Evangelical Left, the commune‘s various expressions of social justice are popularized through the music produced by the community and their annual festival.
