Will it matter for anyone other than the Sunday ushers whose collection baskets have suddenly gotten lighter?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, actually. Religious and other civic organizations will atrophy \u2014 and not just from lack of funds. Faith and practice can\u2019t persevere through our generation without attendance, and neither can the hope they tend to bring. And while that may not seem like a problem now, it will soon. We still want relationships and transcendence, to be part of something bigger than ourselves. Our drive for those things isn\u2019t likely to wane, despite how ambivalent we might feel about ancient liturgies or interminable coffee hours or even pastors whose politics have taken a sharp turn MAGA-wards.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n An excellent response to the critics of Ellen DeGeneres for her friendship with George W. Bush<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhether at Christian universities, evangelical nonprofits, or local churches, we\u2019ve fallen head over heels for the entrepreneurial leader. We talk the talk of servant leadership but walk the walk of \u201cGentile rulers\u201d who \u201clord it over\u201d others (Mk. 10:42). We\u2019re infatuated with men and women who can grow influence and finances. We want \u201cmovers and shakers\u201d who can \u201cmake a difference.\u201d We hire not for humility and service, but for boldness, innovation, and creativity. Big is beautiful.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2019, Kanye West rose from the ashes of a career flameout by taking his faith on tour.
