The Similarities Between Megachurches and Corporations »
Fantastic article/photo essay titled: “Infrastructure for Souls: Tracing the parallel histories of the American megachurch and the corporate-organizational complex.”
I found this absolutely fascinating:
“Successful megachurches are like well-run companies, with intricate corporate structures devised to keep each member personally engaged; their pastors are like chief executives, maximizing the productivity of laborers in the evangelism enterprise. Jumbotron notwithstanding, the architectural and organizational tropes of the megachurch are best compared to those of the modern white-collar workplace.”
