Religion Newswriters Award for best in-depth religion reporting in a series.
Who are we?
On November 30, 2017 we had our 44,494,606th viewer! We are #1 on Google search for “NYC religion.” We were founded on July 9, 2010 and continue with your support. Thank-you so very much!
———————————–
We are exploring the postsecular city.
Join us as we travel down all 6,374.9 miles of our city’s streets, every alleyway and quite a few hallways to map and photograph every religious site and to interview clergy and lay leaders at the sites.
We are an incubator and educator for new ways of doing religion reporting and understanding the postsecular city. We are nonsectarian and nonpartisan and open to anyone’s cool and authoritative reporting on NYC religion.
We are a public square for the postsecular city. People of faith, people of no faith, liberals, conservatives–all are welcomed to journey together to make this city better for all people. Our warmest feelings are toward those who help the poor, the needy, and the abused.

And even if one can construct a theoretical rationale for doing so, as Romanus Cessario does , it was wildly imprudent of Pius IX to […]
