Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
Three years ago Christianity Today began an adventure looking for Christians seeking the common good. Managing editor Katelyn Beaty writes:
“In 2011 (with generous backing from Christianity Today, the Murdock Charitable Trust, the John Templeton Foundation, and other friends), our team embarked on a multistate journalistic adventure to find stories of Christians working in business, the arts, media, education, and law to bring comprehensive flourishing to their cities and neighbors. In three years, we found more than 200 such stories.”
Read more about the project, and see the top ten list of stories, here. Photo of Katelyn Beaty in Detroit by Gary Gnidovic from ChristianityToday.com.
