Behind the Story

Our esteemed Daily Briefing readers sent us their "behind the story" about where they read the newsletter, so you can have an idea of other readers who join you every day. We can’t share all the stories we received, but we’ll share some excerpts:

"Most days I read after online fitness (three days a week) or as I skim the mail at my desk, but always prior to breakfast." —Ruth McMonagle, Campbell River, British Columbia

"Normally in my office in Alcobaça, Portugal. My business serves the ministry space, so the Daily Briefing is one of the resources I use to stay on top of what’s happening in Christendom. I read it in between work for various clients, or when I need a quick break from staring at a report or at data. I look for anything that keeps me abreast of important information (although I have to admit Today in Christian History doesn’t do that, but I read it anyway since I’m a history buff)." —Ron Sellers

"I read the Daily Briefing generally on my computer, where I work, play chess, check on sports. I generally read stories about the wars because I have appreciated how CT has shown how Christians on both sides (Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Gaza) are responding to what is happening. It is good to see more than one perspective. The other stories I always read are about immigrants right now in the US due to what the current administration is doing. I appreciate the individual stories, as it puts names to what is happening, not just statistics." —Ken Steckert, Auburndale, Florida A survey that showed a "quiet revival" in the UK was based on fraudulent responses, and the Bible Society has pulled the report.  NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie, whose mother, Nancy, has been missing since February 1, conducted her first interview on the situation for the Today show. She described the "unbearable" pain of her uncertainty but also said her "faith is strong and resolute." Archaeologists in Iraq who were finally settling into peaceful work on ancient Near East sites have had to evacuate again because of the Iran war. Today in Christian History April 6, 1801: The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church recognizes the new African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME).
