God Speaks To These Professions: anatomy of a church think tank

This is an analysis of a bold church-sponsored venture in anticipating and commenting on the future of the world and mankind. It was based on the belief that God can speak through people and professions outside traditional church circles. Operated from 1967 to 1976, this think tank explored issues such as population explosion, ecology, violence, energy policy, water policy, and economics. Some 120 voluntary participants were drawn from major institutions in education, government, specialized laboratories, and business throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition to the history, the book addresses the issues of why a church would sponsor a think tank, and why highly skilled professionals would devote voluntary time and energy to such a venture. One feature of this think tank is that participation did not involve adherence to any particular faith, though it was church-sponsored.
