Christian Business Luncheon to feature leadership speaker
Always maintaining a variety of speakers at its monthly meetings, Christian Business Luncheon will feature a leadership-focused sociologist at its Jan. 13 meeting.
Michael Lindsay is a sociologist whose work focuses on leadership, religion, and culture. In 2006, he joined the faculty of Rice University where he is also the faculty associate of Leadership Rice and associate director of the Center on Race, Religion and Urban Life. He is a Rice Scholar at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy.
Lindsay has been honored by two international scholarly societies for his path-breaking work on elites and his wide-ranging research interests. His work has been published in the leading scholarly journals of three academic fields: sociology, religion, and American studies. In 2006 at the World Congress of Sociology, he was honored in a worldwide competition as the most promising sociologist under age 35.
Lindsay is the author of the Pulitzer-nominated book, “Faith in the Halls of Power: How Evangelicals Joined the American Elite.” Publishers Weekly named it one of the Best Books of 2007 and The Economist praised it as “An impressive and admirably fair-minded book: anybody who wants to understand the nexus between God and power in modern America should start here.”
Lindsay earned his doctorate in sociology from Princeton University and previously served as the consultant for religion and culture at The George H. Gallup International Institute. Before earning his master’s degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary and Oxford, he served as assistant to the president at Dallas Baptist University.
He and his wife, Rebecca, were both Phi Beta Kappa graduates of Baylor University. They are the proud parents of Elizabeth, and they presently reside in Houston, Texas.
To RSVP for the luncheon, please go to www.christianbusinessluncheon.com. Each month, the luncheon is held at the Elmer L. Beckendorf conference center at Lone Star College-Tomball, 30555 Tomball Pkwy. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and the luncheon is held from noon to 1 p.m.
