» NYT: The Faith to Outlast Politics (David Kuo, John J. DiIulio Jr.)

A good read here if you happen to follow the faith-based initiative that was started under the Bush administration. The authors were essentially present at the creation - Dilulio, in particular, is a former director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.

I suppose it's one thing to look over the track record of this endeavor and find reason for concern or not. But ultimately, I love the way Joel Hunter once put it: the church should be doing things of this nature so well that states should be beating down their doors to find out how we're doing it.
