October 21 — On the heels of the Vatican closing the doors on female deacons, a study exploring the roles of women in global Christianity found that 45% of Christians belong to churches that allow women pastors (even if most don't actually have one) — a surprising number, since the two largest denominations (Catholic and Orthodox) do not. In the U.S., 14% of local congregations are led by women. (Religion Unplugged, and RNS) |
| October 22 — A court is scheduled to decide on Louisiana's Ten Commandment case in the next few weeks. If approved, all public school classrooms in the state will be required to display the commandments starting January 1, 2025. But which Ten Commandments? Part of the objection (largely on First Amendment grounds) is that the state itself determined the phrasing of the commandments, inspired by (but not matching) the KJV. (Christianity Today) |
| October 22 — Among U.S. churchgoers, 80% want their pastors to address "current issues" from the pulpit; 91% trust their pastors completely and want guidance on navigating modern culture. What they mostly don't want to hear is who to vote for: less than a third (29%) think it's appropriate for pastors to endorse political candidates. They needn't worry: only 2% of pastors have done so this year. (Religion Unplugged, from Lifeway Research) |

When Lisa Harper brought Laurie, a young woman in recovery, to a church service, midway through the sermon Laurie elbowed her in the ribs and whispered loud enough for most of the congregation to hear, "Hey Miss Lisa, Jesus has a thing for losers, doesn't He?"
In her inimitable, informal style, Lisa shares stories showing how Jesus's compassion for the "least of these" is as radical today as it was in His own time. |
