Center for Enterprise Development

Summary:

The Center for Enterprise Development (CFED) promotes ideas, programs, and practices that aim at ensuring that everyone can participate in, contribute to, and benefit from the economy. By combining the traditional processes of a think tank with insight from practitioners, the organization seeks to:

 
·        determine effective ideas, focusing on communities that are excluded from or limited by the mainstream economy;
·        research and improve promising ideas by piloting programs and providing funding to create and refine effective strategies;
·        disseminate and advocate good ideas to important individuals and organizations in the policymaking process; and
·        foster new markets to achieve greater economic influence.
 

CFED publishes the results of their research, their work with new ideas, their testing of new programs and products, and their advocating effective policies in reports, white papers, and other forms. Their publications fall under four categories: IDAs and Asset-Building; Entrepreneurship and Micro-enterprise; Development Finance, and Economic Development and Business Climate.

Why does FASTEN recommend this resource?

CFED provides a wealth of information for any concerned about those communities hindered or left out of the mainstream economy. CFED works with researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and financial institutions to best boost the economic opportunity of all people.

Being Evangelical - the Centrality of the Word, pt. I: What is Wrong with the American Church?

Submitted by an UrbanMinistry Blogger on Thu, 07/26/2007 - 11:36

Right now, American Christianity, even professedly evangelical Christianity, is in a pretty sorry state. Fragmented, ineffectual, and frequently shrill, the Church has a bad reputation in the world - and not, largely, for its courageous witness to "Christ and Him crucified," (1 Cor. 2:2) but for its pursuit of political activism.

The Gospel, of course, has political implications, since Christ stakes His claim upon all of life, but most contemporary Christian political activists seem content to advocate merely a veneer of Christian ethics in our culture. Their activism seems more motivated by a concern for the Church's comfort than by a prophetic desire to confront the idolatries inherent in American life.
