Rachel Held Evans | Christian bookstores and their chokehold on the industry.
Once again, Rachel Held Evans hits the nail on the head, re-enforcing for me why I find Christian book stores to be as creepy as mimes, puppet shows, and Barney.
Check out the entire post but here is the quote that resonates for me: “What most people don’t realize, however, is that the problem of sanitized Christian bookstores extends far beyond the inventory on the shelves to create an entire Christian subculture that is so sanitized and safe it often fails to produce art that is relevant to our culture or our lives.”
By extention, it is an indictment of our congregations who do much the same thing to the art in our buildings and the art of preaching.
