LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Justin Taylor over at the Gospel Coalition points us to a Vision Paper by Tim Keller with some important words for local churches:

The gospel has a deep and vital impact on how we do art, business, government, media, and scholarship. Churches must be highly committed to support Christians’ engagement with culture, helping them work with excellence, distinctiveness, and accountability in their professions and in ‘secular work.’

How? Keller has some practical suggestions, and Taylor has an excellent list of resources–books, articles, and videos. Read more here, and see Keller’s original vision paper here.
