Jesus Movement reshapes Sunset Strip youth culture
In Southern California a largely churchless Jesus Movement grows among youths under 30. Leaders include Duane Pederson and Arthur Blessitt guiding Children of God and Jesus People from Hollywood to Texas. The movement preaches Bible teaching, rejects drugs and sex excess, and organizes papers, centers, and festivals to reach street youth.
