C Street - where piety, politics, and corruption meet Jeff Sharlet
is the only journalist to have reported from inside the C Street
House, the Fellowship residence known simply by its Washington, DC
address. The house has lately been the scene of notorious political
scandal, but more crucially it is home to efforts to transform the
very fabric of American democracy. And now, after laying bare its
tenants' past in "The Family," Sharlet reports from deep within
fundamentalism in today's world, revealing that the previous
efforts of religious fundamentalists in America pale in comparison
with their long-term ambitions.
When Barack Obama entered the White House, headlines declared the
age of culture wars over. In "C Street, " Sharlet shows why these
conflicts endure and why they matter now - from the sensationalism
of Washington sex scandals to fundamentalism's long shadow in
Africa, where Ugandan culture warriors determined to eradicate
homosexuality have set genocide on simmer.
We've reached a point where piety and corruption are not at odds
but one and the same. Reporting with exclusive sources and
explosive documents from C Street, the war on gays in Uganda, and
the battle for the soul of America's armed forces - waged by a
15,000-strong movement of officers intent on "reclaiming territory
for Christ in the military" - Sharlet reveals not the last gasp of
old-time religion but the new front lines of fundamentalism.
