Intoxicated by a North American corporate success model

A gut check for us on our next Barnes and Noble visit, looking for anything on church life and leadership.

"It is important for theology and the church to become partners again, even if that partnership challenges the triumphalism lingering around professional emanations of the local church intoxicated by a North American corporate success model. For Christian community to survive the 21st century, it must never forget its Hebraic roots in a suffering God who experienced the public failure associated with dying on a Roman instrument of torture simultaneously displaying the love of God for the world." - Paul Bischoff
