Dr. Joel C. Hunter, senior pastor of Northland Church, is featured in the June 30, 2008 issue of The New Yorker.

In an extensive feature titled “The New Evangelicals,” Pulitzer Prize winner Frances Fitzgerald talks to Pastor Hunter about how he is helping evangelicals to focus on issues that Jesus would have us care about.

Dr. Hunter tells the magazine, “We’re at a watershed in our history. What has passed for an ‘evangelical’ up to now is a stereotype created by the people with the loudest voices. But there’s a whole constituency out there that it doesn’t apply to. Now something is happening. You can feel it like the force of a tsunami under the water.”

Dr. Hunter’s latest book, A New Kind of Conservative (Regal), outlines a non-partisan approach to political involvement, encouraging readers to “vote and voice their values” rather than simply voting along party lines.

In a recent interview with Christianity Today, he explains, “The problems are so big that they can’t be addressed by one party or one ideology, or just by part of the electorate. You really need to galvanize people that have different opinions and offer solutions that people can buy into at least partially. That’s the kind of candidate people are looking for.”
