Where are the prophets?
So who are the prophets to American civil religion? American corporate religion? Unbridled captitalism? “In Cramer We trust,” ad hype for CNBC’s Mad Money, is a correlary to the belief, “In debt we trust.” Jon Stewart on the Daily Show Thursday night (Mar.12)was not joking when he took Jim Cramer to task for failing to warn the American people of the coming global economic crisis.
So who are the public media prophets? Jon Stewart? Bill Moyers? Who? And what about the church’s prophetic vocation in the public world? Whose are the prophetic voice? The persistent voices?
