The report, created by Pushpay, a leading payments and engagement solutions provider for the faith-based and nonprofit sectors, was done in partnership with Engiven and Checkr.

The Supreme Court has finally opened the door to transparency in 'end of life' cases

1 week ago | christiantoday.com | Andrea Williams |Andréa Williams

Last week, the UK Supreme Court delivered a powerful and long-overdue judgment: families who lose children in hospital-led, court-ordered end-of-life decisions have the right to tell their stories. The Court ruled that the indefinite gagging orders historically imposed on grieving parents-prohibiting them from naming hospitals or clinicians-are a disproportionate infringement on free speech and a betrayal of open justice.

Arson attacks on Canadian churches have more than doubled since 2021, a new study finds, attributing the surge largely to public reaction over potential unmarked graves at former residential schools rather than anti-religious hostility. The 46-page report, " Scorched Earth," by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, is the first empirical examination of a wave of fires that have damaged or destroyed scores of houses of worship across Canada.

While respected Christian researchers like George Barna have been sounding the alarm on the dangers of syncretism to a biblical worldview in recent years, a new study published Monday suggests more Americans are leaving organized religion in search of personalized faith perspectives that embrace syncretism - a fusion of different religions. The study, Breaking Free of the Iron Cage: The Individualization of American Religion, was published in the peer-reviewed open access academic journal Socius.

The Supreme Court ruling on women was an important step forward but more needs to be done

3 weeks ago | christiantoday.com | Andrea Williams |Andréa Williams

This week's Supreme Court ruling was not a case of women's rights defeating trans rights; it was a victory for truth over falsehood. I refer, of course, to For Women Scotland's win against the Scottish Ministers about the definition of 'woman' in law.
