Teresa Graham+FollowSunday Shopping Laws: The Surprising FalloutWho knew letting stores open on Sundays could have such a dark side? When states ditched blue laws in the ‘80s and ‘90s, church attendance plummeted—and deaths from suicide, drugs, and liver disease shot up. Turns out, nothing really replaced the community support churches gave. Researchers say the decline in religion might explain 40% of the mortality spike in the ‘90s. Wild how a policy about shopping could change so much, right? #Religion #BlueLaws #PublicHealth11Share
Dr. Robert Barnes+FollowCardinal Dolan’s Joyful Legacy in NYCCardinal Dolan is officially stepping down after 15 years as New York’s archbishop, and honestly, he’s leaving some huge shoes to fill. Known for his big laugh, bigger heart, and even bigger presence, Dolan made everyone—from subway riders to presidents—feel like part of his flock. He tackled tough times with a smile and always found time for a chat (and a burger). Here’s hoping his successor brings the same warmth! #Religion #CardinalDolan #NYC00Share
Lindsay Wood+FollowHome Alone magic comes alive in Oak ParkWatching Home Alone inside the very church where Kevin met Old Man Marley? That’s exactly what happened at Grace Episcopal Church in Oak Park, and fans say it was unforgettable. The sold-out event didn’t just screen the holiday classic—it let people sit in the same pews, enjoy a live choir, and even snap photos with a cardboard Kevin. For many, it was about reliving family memories and feeling the movie’s heart in a whole new way. Would you go out of your way to watch a favorite film at its original location? #Religion #HomeAlone #OakPark00Share
Matthew Barnes+FollowDetroit’s oldest church welcomes first Black deanRev. Joseph C. Alsay just made history as the first Black dean at Detroit’s Cathedral Church of St. Paul—a church that’s been a cornerstone in the city for 200 years. Alsay brings a reputation for uniting communities and tackling tough issues head-on. He’s stepping into a congregation known for its vibrant music and outreach, and he’s already talking about rolling up his sleeves to serve Detroit. This feels like a big moment for both the church and the city. What do you think this new chapter could mean for Detroit’s faith community? #Religion #Detroit #Community00Share
Dr. Robert Barnes+FollowTommy Robinson’s Crowd Shrinks Big TimeRemember when Tommy Robinson’s rallies used to pack out London? His ‘Christmas service’ this weekend barely hit 1,000 people—way down from the 100k+ he drew in September. The event was supposed to “put the Christ back into Christmas,” but even bishops called out the use of Christian symbols for political messaging. There were carols, flags, and a priest reminding everyone that Jesus was a migrant. Compared to past chaos, this one was pretty tame, but wow, what a turnout drop! #Religion #TommyRobinson #London10Share
Teresa Graham+FollowBeauty Queens Stand Up to HateJewish beauty queens Miriam Mattova and Melanie Shiraz are refusing to stay silent after facing a wave of antisemitic hate and even death threats. Instead of hiding, they’re sharing messages of hope and resilience for Hanukkah, reminding everyone that light shines brightest in the darkness. Their courage is seriously inspiring—proof that hate can’t dim their pride or their voices. This Hanukkah, it’s all about standing strong and showing up, no matter what. #Religion #Hanukkah #StandUpToHate32Share
John Nelson+FollowFonda-Fultonville concert canceled, parents left guessingFonda-Fultonville families are reeling after the sudden cancellation of the elementary school’s winter concert, with no clear explanation from school officials. Many parents believe a song about the birth of Jesus—complete with barnyard animal sounds—sparked the controversy, but the district insists the cancellation isn’t about song choice or safety. Instead, kids will perform during the school day, with a recording sent to parents. The lack of transparency has left the community frustrated, especially as kids who practiced for weeks won’t get to perform for their families. What do you think: Should schools be more open about these decisions? #Religion #FondaFultonville #SchoolConcert00Share
Pamela Marshall+FollowFar-Right Hijacks Christmas Spirit?Wild twist: some far-right groups in the UK are throwing 'Christian' rallies and carol services, but instead of spreading peace and goodwill, they're using the holiday to push hate and division. The Church of England is clapping back, saying this is the total opposite of what Christmas is about—compassion and welcoming strangers. It's honestly wild to see Christmas, of all things, get caught up in culture wars. Thoughts? #Religion #Christmas #FarRight11Share
