Several years ago, an elderly friend of mine died and I ventured into a local Logos Bookstore in search of a sympathy card. When I asked the young clerk at the front desk where I might find one, she inquired, “Was your friend Christian or non-Christian?†My instinct was to respond, “Are there any other options?†I held my tongue, but I have long remembered the incident as a testament to evangelicals’ earnestness and entrepreneurial skill.
