Published by Apologetics Index,
Religion News Blog is a religious news service that highlights and archives news items and other resources about cults, religious sects, alternative religions, Christian denominations, and related issues. RNB's non-profit news clipping service is used by - among others - Christian apologists, countercult professionals, anticult organizations, teachers, religion professionals, reporters and other researchers.
In short: RNB is a service that alerts Christian apologetics- and counter-cult professionals - as well as other academic and professional communities - to relevant religion news from around the world.
This non-profit service is provided as a research resource, and is intended for educational purposes only.
Items included in RNB are provided for "information only." Unless otherwise indicated, no endorsements are intended. Opinions expressed in the articles are those of the original authors, publications, and/or inviduals or organizations quoted.
In accordance with
Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107 these news items are distributed without profit for research and educational purposes. Copyright remains with the original author and/or publisher.

Copyright owners who object to having their material included in the Religion News Blog archive may request, in writing, that it be removed.
Before we started Religion New Blog, Apologetics Index published the "Religion News Report." This was a newsletter posted to the
AR-talk mailing list. The newsletters were then archived at this site. Publication in that format ceased at the end of February, 2002, but news items continued to be published to a
Yahoo Groups mailing list
On July 18, 2002, the
Religion News Blog came online.
Getting fresh religion news headlines on your website or blog is easy:
just point and click
For a while we provided a service which allowed researchers to request a copy of the full stories excerpted by us. Alas, we had to stop doing so, primarily because it took up way too much of our time and energy. We apologize for any inconvenience, but nowadays it is much easier to find such items online -- either free or in a paid archive -- at their original sources.
To find the full items:
Check with the original source first.
If a URL is provided, see if the story is available at the
Internet Archive, or
Use
Google's Avanced Search to look for an exact phrase within the item.
