Boomtown Blues
31 December 2006Paul Asay, religion reporter for the Colorado Springs Gazette, teams up with colleague Dave Phillips to ponder the post-Haggard fate of the city sometimes called the evangelical Vatican. It's an excellent report. Megachurch light shows and Dobson fire-breathing acts are old news in Colorado Springs, so Asay and Phillips do what reporters are trained to do -- they follow the money. That is, they examine the rise of their city's evangelical community as an economic industry -- courted and caressed by a city government desperate for business -- and what might be a coming end to the boom.
