The Takeaway

We reported on the new iPhone app that helps aid confession, but we want to look at what more religions are doing to engage their followers online.  

One Takeaway listener from Michigan texted: “On Linkedin I follow a Buddhist group. I follow the Dalai Lama on Twitter and Facebook.”

Tell us: What role does social media play in your religious life?

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
