**During the sixties,
I was part of the counterculture movement seeking spiritual truth. In the early
seventies, I became part of the Jesus Movement.[i]
This movement was neither organized, nor guided by any church or religious
organization. It was the work of God in people searching for spiritual truth
and encountering Jesus in a personal relationship. A common expression during
that decade stated, “It’s not about religion, but relationship.” Young people,
including those known as hippies who joined the developing counterculture
during the 1960s, popularized the Jesus Movement.
