In “The New Christian Right is Global: What Mainstream Media Isn’t Telling You,” Bruce Wilson shows that the kind of charismatic (Wilson uses the more technical term “Third Wave”) Christianity embraced by Sarah Palin and often portrayed as a backwater, minority movement is fast becoming a dominant worldwide movement (especially in South America, Asia, and Africa). There are several interesting links from his post that are worth a look also. An interesting quote:

Sarah Palin’s new Christianity is rapidly moving to achieve dominance in the GOP, but few Democrats appear aware that Palin’s movement even exists. Thus, the danger: that the Democratic Party will be blindsided in the 2012 presidential election, as the New Apostolic Reformation / Third Wave Christianity gambit – of peeling away ethnic constituencies that have traditionally voted for the Democratic Party – comes into play.
