Did you see the Business Week cover story on newsstands this week (May 23, 2005)?

Bottom line — and Business Week does go to the bottom line on this — American Evangelicalism is portrayed as a free market spiritual enterprise where anyone can do anything without fear of intervention.

As compared to connected, confessional churches — Catholics, Episcopals, Lutherans and the rest — who answer to national (and in some cases international) hierarchies, America’s Evangelicals are pictured as doing what they want to do and letting the market decide.

It’s an interesting family portrait about which we’ll no doubt have more to say.

Meanwhile, there’s a quote and a question on the InsideWork "Christian Business or Christians in Business?" Forum in the Conference Room.
