…niversity has already taken over parts of its quadrangle. Will the current sale be enough to stop the bleeding? Maybe. This depends largely on the wider trajectories of liberal churches, as well as fine print to which Hedges and I are not privy. Is it a fatal compromise? I seriously doubt it. Is the UTS leadership perfect? Surely not, but let’s get real: perfect compared to what? Anybody appealing to Niebuhr should be smart enough to ask that ques…

Faith in the Market Is Our National Religion, Says Theologian Harvey Cox

By Alan Levinovitz

…I favor more regulation of the financial industry. I hate wildly high CEO salaries, mindless consumption, and predatory lending.
