I think, the reason "Christian businessman" elicits blank stares is often the contemporary interpretation of Christianity as somehow antithetical to work for profit, or even work for resale. Have you see a wonderful exchange between (all details from memory) a CEO of a Silicon Valley chip manufacturer T.J. Rogers(?) and a nun who insisted that he hired more women on his corporate board and engage in a slew of politically correct activities. She proceeded to disinvest the pension plan she was in charge of from his profitable and successful company. His response, in a nutshell, was: Rogers had an obligation to run the company the best way he knows how, for her. Her obligation as a decision maker in her investment fund was to invest in profitable companies on behalf of other nuns. Her request was, in effect, to do something to hurt the nuns as they retire. Yet she was full of Christian pathos and he was a money grubbing philistine. It was posted somewhere on FR. Maybe Boris can find it.
