Interesting sign at Borders Books
I was browsing through the Borders at Crossgates Mall in Albany today.
I saw the religion section from a distance and walked over. I was particularly interested in the signs they had pointing to “Christian Fiction.”
I figured millenialist books and similar, perhaps a few other things.
Guess what I found?
Bibles and Concordances.
That about sums up the world’s attitude toward Christianity, and most faith for that matter, excepting whatever people define as their personal brand of quasi-religious “spirituality.” I give them some credit for avoiding the soft-soap approach toward their attitude.
Side note, witchcraft, tarot, etc. were in a section all their own labeled “Mysticism.”
St. John of the Cross, pray for us.
All Holy Visionaries and Mystics, pray for us.
Deacon Jim,
Yes – this is unfortunate. This is another reason to buy from Christian bookstores and not those big chains such as Borders and Barnes & Noble.
I’m glad you visited the store. We also need to engage the world so we have to attain that balance of “saying not to the business” but “staying in touch with our culture”.
