Behind the Story

Our esteemed Daily Briefing readers sent us their "behind the story" about where they read the newsletter. We can’t share all the stories we received, but we’ll share some excerpts, including one extremely honest dad sharing how he finds time to read.

"I work a job that is almost exclusively on the computer and phone, so I often read the Daily Briefing when I need a little break. I typically read the whole thing and will sometimes come back to it on other breaks to read specific articles." —Allison, Memphis, Tennessee

"I start my day reading the Daily Briefing right here from my desk at Mission Aviation Fellowship in Nampa, Idaho. My favorite part is ‘Behind the Story.’ It gives me the perspective I want—the writers’ perspective. As someone who’s lived overseas and who works with an international ministry, I love the stories from overseas!" —Marilyn Gorenflo

"CT’s Daily Briefing comes into my inbox just after midnight local time. This means that I flick through the CT headlines before I head to work, though I try to do this just after my morning devotions. I’m a little embarrassed to admit that 80 percent of the time that quick flick is while I’m completing a certain task in ‘the necessarium,’ where I have a little privacy from my enthusiastic tribe (four under 6). I’m certain I’m not the only one." —Daniel, Canberra, Australia A Memphis church where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his final speech will be renovated as part of a process to preserve pieces of civil rights history. Another church building used as a staging area for the 1968 sanitation workers strike will also receive upgrades.  Anthropic hosted a summit with Christian leaders to talk about generative artificial intelligence. One question that came up was whether the AI chatbot Claude could be considered a "child of God." Faith leaders in the UK argue a new protest clause in a crime-and-policing bill is too vague and could have a "chilling effect" on peaceful assemblies. Today in Christian History April 14, 1759: George Frideric Handel, composer of the oratorio Messiah, dies at age 74 in London.
