“Most influential” Christians

I’ve mentioned before that Time Magazine’s cover story this week names the “25 most influential evangelicals.” I didn’t quite understand their list, which seemed to leave out a lot of people (Jim Wallis and Richard Mouw among them). But here’s a different list to ponder: the Church Report’s List of the “50 most influential Christians in America.” Argh. I’m not sure this is a list I’d want to be anywhere near, but it at least includes Jimmy Carter, Jim Wallis and Barack Obama.
