The Market Driven Church

“In God we trust.” “God bless America.” “Attend the church of your choice.” “The churches of this town welcome you.”

In no other country are Christianity and God so obviously part of the culture. There are street signs directing people to local churches. Worship services are broadcast on radio and television.

Politicians attend prayer breakfasts, and schoolchildren proclaim the country “one nation under God.” Yet, it seems that the church has become more like the culture than the culture like the church. As a European with strong American ties.
