Surprising absence in local churches....

"The relative absence of economic questions from the popular conception of what the churches care about is surprising. [...] I also wonder if the relative lack of interest in the ethics of the economy is partly about a sense of being implicated too deeply to risk raising difficult questions."
(Malcolm Brown, Tensions in Christian Ethics: An Introduction [UK: SPCK, 2010], p.147)

This is the same observation I had. I'm not that alone after all.
