America's Top 50! (Christians)

A web site called "The Church Report" has come up with a ranking list of "The 50 Most Influential Christians in America."

There are lots of expected names on the list (T.D. Jakes; President Bush; James Dobson...) but some of the selections and omissions are a little puzzling?

For example, Andy Stanley, son of Charles Stanley and pastor of a large and growing church in the Atlanta area is ranked as #13 (9 places above his father!). Meanwhile James Robison, the spiritual advisor to the President and one of the most widely distributed television programmers in America didn't even make the list. Hmmmm.

Also, we have Joni Ericson Tada at #14, but Condoleeza Rice is nowhere to be found. I guess it depends on what your definition of "influential" is, is.
