Last updated on: January 23, 2014 at 3:43 pm By Acton Institute

What distinct features does Pentecostalism bring to discussions about stewardship and whole-life discipleship? In Flourishing Churches and Communities, one of three tradition-specific primers on faith, work, and economics, Dr. Charlie Self provides a response to this question, exploring how Pentecostal considerations influence our approach to such matters Read more

Faith, work, and economics in four evangelical traditions

Last updated on: January 23, 2014 at 2:43 pm By Oikonomia Network

Whenever people talk about faith, work, and economics, we speak from perspectives within our various faith traditions. While there are important things evangelicals hold in common – the faith once delivered to the saints, the legacy of the Reformation, etc. – there is also important variety across our communities.

Work and the American Character

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 10:39 pm By Greg Forster

Over the Labor Day 2013 weekend, columnist Peggy Noonan wrote about “Work and the American Character.” Her column points to the critical connection between the spiritual value of work and the moral strength of our culture. Unfortunately, in her search for a beacon of hope that can point us back toward the dignity of work, she neglects the church in favor of less promising possibilities. Read more

The contested American Dream

Last updated on: December 20, 2013 at 6:08 pm By Made to Flourish

For many affluent and educated Americans, including some Christians, the American Dream is a materialistic desire for not only a job, a family, and a house with a white picket fence, but also a beach house, two SUVS, exotic vacations, big-screen TVs, the latest fashions, $5 lattes, etc. It is easy to see why other Christians oppose this perversion of the American Dream, which simply promotes the acquisition of treasures on earth, and of social privilege, solely for self-glorification. But many of those who still long for the best of the American Dream are the marginal, the poor, the working class – those for whom education, steady work, and home ownership are life-long goals.

Not a “prosperity gospel”

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 10:35 pm By Greg Forster

Churches should not only empower people to do their work well, but should help them to have a broader vision of economic flourishing and how communities can achieve it. As I talk to pastors and seminaries about this idea on behalf of The Kern Family Foundation, I am often asked how this is different from the so-called “prosperity gospel.” Read more

The end of urban ministry

Last updated on: December 20, 2013 at 5:41 pm By Acton Institute

Although it is often equated with neighborhood improvement, in reality gentrification is a process of class transformation: it is the remaking of working-class space to serve the needs of middle- and upper-class people. Read more

Why does the clergy tax exemption matter?

Last updated on: December 20, 2013 at 5:27 pm By Acton Institute

Aside from the question of constitutionality, the clergy exemption raises a question that many people — whether religious or not — are likely to be wondering: Why exactly do ministers receive a tax exemption for their housing allowance? Read more

Pastors, seminary students, and economics

Last updated on: December 20, 2013 at 4:51 pm By Oikonomia Network

Why do pastors need to know all that much about economics? My friend and writing partner, Austin Hill, tells the story of a conference he attended as a graduate student where the facilitator posed the provocative question, “Can somebody name for me one area of our lives that has nothing to do with economics?” The group was silent for more than a few moments, as many pondered this for the first time.
