 The '''Jesus Movement''' or "Jesus Freaks" was a movement in the late 1960s and 1970s of former [[hippie]]s, [[drug]] addicts, [[occult]] and [[eastern religion]] practitioners, [[rock and roll]] musicians, etc. becoming born-again [[Christian]]s.  The movement stressed personal conversion to Jesus and outreach ministries in places the conventional churches paid little attention to at the time, such as coffee houses in inner cities.  One of the important churches of the movement was the [[Calvary Chapel]] of Costa Mesa, [[California]] founded by [[Chuck Smith]], which later grew into a major Christian [[denomination]].<ref>http://www.one-way.org/jesusmovement/index.html</ref>  The new young Christian converts were often disparaged as "Jesus freaks" by non-Christian hippies and supporters of the [[New Left]].
