Network Like a Theologian
Network Like a Theologian
Jul 5, 2026 3:29 PM

Readers of PowerBlog are already aware that Acton research fellow Anthony Bradley‘s ability to blend theology, ethics, and economics has made him on of the most intriguing public intellectuals in America. Now readers of Black Enterprise Magazine are finding what we’ve already known for years: “His writings mentary on issues ranging from race and religion to politics and economics have led to his recognition as one of the most brilliant minds of the century.”

In a profile by Aisha M. Taylor, Bradley makes an important point about how even theologians need to network:

Bradley earned his Ph.D. from Westminister Theological Seminary and attributes much of his success to the art of networking. Just as it is important in business and other secular professions, networking is also key in ministry. “I can honestly say that 99 percent of my opportunities over the last 20 years e as the consequence of networking.” He encourages others to always build relationships and stay in touch with people.

Dispatches from the Academy 3: Neuhaus’ Choice
Again reporting from the Making Men Moral conference at Union University . . . The evening panel featured Robert George, Jean Bethke-Elshtain, David Novak, and Harry Poe. Their primary subject was the life of Richard John Neuhaus. Lots of great material, but Robert George spoke very movingly of Neuhaus’ career. In the 1960’s, Neuhaus was a friend and associate of Martin Luther King, Jr. During the next decade, Neuhaus moved into position to e the most prominent religious liberal in...
PBR: Retreat, not Surrender
Free trade seems to get all the blame when things go wrong and none of the credit when things go right. It’s the Rodney Dangerfield of global economics: it gets no respect. Certainly in this worldwide economic downturn globalism is going to take its bumps and bruises. And as trouble es to roost at home (and vice versa) more then ever the lesson is going to be how truly interdependent we all are. In the short term there will certainly...
School Choice in D.C.
Washington, D.C., has long been a focal point of debates about vouchers and other forms of school choice–partly because the public schools there are so notoriously bad that a working majority of politicians and parents are open to experiments that might improve them. Two recent articles highlight interesting developments. First, Bill McGurn of the Wall Street Journal challenges President Obama to fight congressional action that might terminate the D.C. scholarship program (which currently permits some students to attend private schools...
Economic Crisis Resource Page
Today on the Acton website we launched a resource page devoted to the global economic crisis. This page is a collection of recent Acton articles, interviews, and video that directly relates to the economic crisis. It includes material that addresses the causes of the crisis, the government’s responses, and market-based solutions to the crisis. It also has a link to a superb video in which Sam Gregg discusses the government’s response to the crisis and how its policies, such as...
Dispatches from the Academy 2: Great Lines, Great Minds
Still reporting from the Making Men Moral Conference in honor of Robert George at Union University . . . I’ve had the chance to hear some great lines offered up by conservative academics. Here are a couple: Paul Kerry (BYU) on the difference between Robert George and Cornel West: “Last year, Robert George was invited to meet with Pope Benedict XVI. Cornel West was similarly honored to be invited to meet with Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez.” Russ Moore (Southern Seminary)...
Gratitude for Grace
Gina over at The Point links to a piece by Jennifer at Conversation Diary, which reads in part, …I got out a pen to add some things to the store list. I do this about five times every day. But this time, as I wrote “bread” and “black beans” on my little pad of paper, it hit me: I am doing something really, really amazing here. Out of the blue, I suddenly saw writing items on my grocery list in...
The Perils of Planning
Somewhere in the United States today, government officials are writing a plan that will profoundly affect other people’s lives, es, and property. Though it may be written with the best intentions, the plan will go horribly wrong. The costs will be far higher than anticipated, the benefits will prove far smaller, and various unintended consequences will turn out to be worse than even the plan’s critics predicted. That’s the first paragraph of Randal O’Toole’s wonderful book, The Best Laid Plans:...
Evangelicals and Catholics Together?
The Making Men Moral conference at Union University is over, but there are some takeaways. This was a unique engagement of many natural law thinkers such as the Catholics Robert George and Francis Beckwith with Southern Baptists like Russell Moore and Greg Thornbury. In that connection, Russell Moore delivered a message that I think would be considered a highlight of the conference by anyone who attended. He addressed the differences between Catholics and Evangelicals irenically without being ecumenical in any...
Conservative Protestants and Corporate Behavior
I have a piece up today at the First Things website on conservative Protestants (like me) and their attitude toward corporate behavior. Here’s a clip: Experience and prudence have demonstrated that free markets are demonstrably better than other alternatives. But the problem is that we have tuned our antennae in such a way such that they pick up market problems like the promotion of hedonistic vice but do not take adequate notice of other wrongs. Thus, conservative evangelicals are quick...
‘Don’t Buy Stuff You Cannot Afford’
As Dave Ramsey admits, all of the advice he gives is something that you would be able to get from your grandma. It’s a mentary on our society that this basic wisdom, that prudential use of money (i.e. thrift) is a virtue, is so alien to us. ...
