I was in a newspaper newsroom during the Crash of 1987. Twenty-one years later, I’m still in the news game and now we have the Crash of 2008.
The events of recent weeks are something that your grandchildren may ask you about in 20 years. In recent days, we have seen persistent comparisons to the 1930s. That sent me onto Internet search engines to find out what was going on in American Christianity during the 1930s and the Great Depression.
