Christians and Christianity in the media have changed. In the 1980’s we saw the start of change in media.
What we thought of as the charismatic renewal was mostly white back then and largely in denominational churches. Today the growth seems to be mostly among independent charismatics. And there are huge churches pastored by African Americans. The Hispanic church also has become a force.

Other leaders, not wanting to seem judgmental, look the other way, saying they can’t say much about divorce because it is so common. Yet they ignore the sin that led to the divorce. And it’s not just sexual sins that are the problem
