Changes

The '''Jesus Movement''' was a movement in the late 1960s and 1970s of former [[hippie]]s, [[drug]] addicts, [[occult]] and [[eastern religion]] practicioners, [[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]], which later grew into a major Christian [[denomination]].  The new young Christian converts were often disparaged as "Jesus freaks" by non-Christian hippies and supporters of the [[New Left]].

[[Christian Rock]] started in the early 1970s, with [[Larry Norman]] and his 1972 album ''Only Visiting This Planet'', often cited as the most influential and important Christian Rock artist of the Jesus Movement era.  [[Cornerstone magazine]] had its origins in the Jesus Movement.  While not part of the Jesus Movement himself, the tracts from [[Jack Chick]] became popular outreach tools.  Also popular among the Jesus Movement were the book ''The Late Great Planet Earth'' by [[Hal Lindsey]]; and the 1972 film about the [[end times]] and the [[rapture]] by [[Russell S. Doughten]], ''A Thief in the Night'', which was followed by three sequels.
