DIRECTORS’ FORUM AUDIO Hanna RosinGuest(s): Hanna Rosin June 01, 2006 Reporter Hanna Rosin outlines the rising influence of evangelical Christians in American politics in this conversation with Hoover deputy director David Brady. After a lengthy period of disengagement, evangelicals (such as those graduating from the recently established Patrick Henry College) are looking to reshape the culture through political activism. At the same time, evangelicals increasingly find themselves part of the mainstream in Washington, D.C.. Rosin suggests that even the language of politics has changed, with spiritual references now the norm in speeches by the president and members of Congress.
Hanna Rosin is a reporter at the Washington Post, where she has covered politics and religion. She is working on a book based on her 2004 New Yorker article entitled “God and Country,” about Patrick Henry College, a school for home-schooled evangelical Christians in northern Virginia. Rosin was recently in residence as an Edwards Media Fellow where she delivered the talk “God’s Heartland: The Next Generation of Evangelical Elites.” Interviewed by David Brady, Hoover Institution Deputy Director and Davies Family Senior Fellow . |
