Blurb
[edit]I have removed the following segment:
==Theology and culture== The movement adheres to no particular [[dogma]] or [[theology]], but emphasizes the value of what [[Jesus Christ]] offers today despite [[church history]], and an individuals' relationship with [[God]]. They reject strict forms of worship, seeking to reach those who may fall outside of societal norms. This is reflected in their music, which includes varieties of [[Christian punk|punk]], [[Christian rock|rock]], [[reggae]], [[Christian country music|country]], and [[Christian hip hop|hip hop]]. The [[Freakstock]] festival is held annually, and is Germany's most important [[Contemporary Christian music|Christian music]] festival.
... as it is so POV as to be blurb (i. e. written like an ad). The Jesus Freaks are organised, have leadership and doctrines. And as far as I'm aware, Freakstock is Germany's only Christian music festival. Maikel (talk) 21:55, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Development to liberalism
[edit]On Freakstock 2014 I heard a definite liberal bias, with also occasional conservative rests after a split-off the years before. On Freakstock 2016 almost everyone I spoke to, all workshops (see freakstock.de) aswell as Martin Dreyer's two appearances showed complete liberalism, i.e. gender equality, homosexual equality (one booth on the area demonstrated "Gay is OK"), pro-vegan interests. When describing his newest book (Oct16) "Der vergessene Jesus" he stated he himself has grown continually more liberal, and the "provocative passages" he cited were for instance decidedly pro-homosexual and pro-sexuality.
