church history

Four Black churches are among 40 recipients of a historic preservation grant that will help restore the facilities.

Church history often gets overlooked in the children’s book genre, yet a new series is seeking to change that – beginning with a book on 20th-century hero Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Church attendance and overall religiosity have long been higher among women than among men. This pattern, however, seems to be changing, especially for younger generations. According to new data, the long-existent church gender gap, which shows up in both religious affiliation and church attendance, has now flipped. However, the headline is not that more men are connecting with the Church. The story is that more women are disconnecting from the Church. 

Among the reasons that our "normal" is so different from much of history is the work of Christians who saw their lives as a means by which God could accomplish restoration.
