New Online Resource-- "Religion Dispatches"

A new online resource on religion, values and public life made its debut last month--it is titled Religion Dispatches. With a half dozen collaborating academic institutions, a distinguished advisory council and a four-person staff, the site features articles, a blog, links to current news articles and other features. Here is how it describes its mission: "The goal of RD is to inform public debate by analyzing and critically engaging the role of religion and values on the most vital issues of our time. This will involve bringing a wider spectrum of perspectives into the conversation, especially voices that have been marginalized in most media, and increasing attention to progressive expressions of religion and values." A link to Religion Dispatches is now on the Religion Clause sidebar under "Resources".
