Here a rather interesting story in USA Today:
Religious bonds divide some parents, kids
By Cathy Lynn Grossman, USA TODAY


Pamela Moss worships every Sunday at Messiah Baptist Church in Grand Rapids, Mich., where they preach the Bible straight up, sing the old hymns "and then let me get on with my day."

But her son, George, 24, is a fervent Evangelical, witnessing to strangers and praying "in a church that looks like a gym. To me, he's just out the gate," his mystified mom says.
And here is a something of interest to us in addition to LU alum Jeremy Johnston quotes:
Brooke Havarty, 21, says her parents struggled when she transferred from Arizona State to Liberty University in Virginia, founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell.

"I had a great childhood in a great family," she says. "We went to church on Sundays, but it was just what you did. I was never shown the value of the Bible, the role God had in my life. I saw the consistency and joy in the lives of faithful Christians, and I wanted that in my life."

I actually had Brooke in my Mass Communication writing class. It was very interesting to hear about her background when I interviewed her for our first project

Great article.

Hits home for me. My mom didn't want me to come to Liberty and more important with her being a raging liberal democrat wanted nothing to do with a school associated with Jerry Falwell.

She has since come to her senses and while may not agree with my beliefs, she has accepted Liberty as a wonderful school that has done so much for me personally. My prayer is that this "upcoming" generation will continue to not only take a stand but be contagious in their passion in serving Christ.
