A Message From Religion News Service

A Message From Religion News Service

Dear Religion News Reader,

As president of the Religion News Service board, and as a journalist, my interest in RNS is both professional and personal.

Religion News Service is an unparalleled source of original and substantive reporting on religion and spirituality around the world. Its mission is to provide quality coverage from a non-sectarian perspective and to further religious literacy and civic discourse about religion.


In addition to its popular weekday Roundup, RNS publishes more than 200 stories and images each month. Its team of award-winning reporters and bloggers have eyes and ears on all fronts—at the intersection with politics, culture, ethics, institutions, trends and breaking news.

But none of this compelling coverage would matter without readers willing to keep this vital service alive.

Producing great journalism is expensive. You, as a reader, are key.

If you enjoy the Roundup or our many daily articles and blogposts, please join me in making a donation today.

We invite you to keep reading. A recent Roundup sentence captured it well: “Stick with the Roundup. We keep you updated on the prescient, the weird and the real.”

Thank you,

Shona Crabtree

Religion News Service Board President and

former contributing writer to RNS

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
