The New York Post profiled the marketplace ministry movement in two feature articles by Chris Erikson yesterday:
+ “Devoted Workers”
The upshot, say Miller and others, is that New York City’s workplaces are home to much more faith-based activity that many people realize. The media and “cultural coastal elite,” Miller says, “sometimes miss what’s going on under their very noses if it’s not something they personally are interested in,” he says. “It’s really happening, they’re just not plugged into the network.”
+ “Battle Lines”
An employer “has no legal obligation to suppress any and all religious expression merely because it annoys a single employee,” he ruled.
But more often, says Starr, employers have been able to shut down “people who are actively proselytizing or expressing their religious viewpoint in a way others find disturbing.”
“The touchstone,” he says, “is whether the behavior is disruptive.”
+ Funny editorial blunder: miscalling Redeemer Presbyterian Church “Church of the Redeemer.”
