You're part of the solution.
Thank you for visiting RNS and reading our independent news about religion. At a time like this, when the world seems to be changing so rapidly, it's more important than ever to provide trustworthy coverage of how religion is impacting policy, power, and people. As a nonprofit, RNS is proud to provide this service for free to all, thanks to generous support of readers just like you.

So today, as we wrap up our spring fundraising campaign in just a few days, I'm asking for your help. Can you make a gift today to ensure our journalists have the resources they need to keep bringing you this reporting? Our goal is to raise $10,000 by the end of this month, all of it to support this vital work. Any amount helps! We're grateful you care about this news, and that you come to RNS to read it. Thank you.
