An Adjunct Opportunity?
This story on calls for a Christian university in Britain has appeared a number of places. Nice to see the "clear-thinking" Richard Dawkins didn't miss it. Can't imagine why Dawkins would be against it, his business model rests on people believing in God.
Walmart and french fries are not the only things to supersize in the last decade. Churches have gone mega, Christian businesses are booming and crashing, you can track the number of souls you have saved on your iPhone, and celebrity pastors regularly hold court on the New York Times bestseller list. Sacred or secular, do these labels have any postmodern significance? Is there a genuine cultural distinction or is it a case branding with different logos?
