What Is Gleanings?

At Christianity Today, we’re constantly tracking important developments in the church and the world. Often we use our network of reporters around the world (and for that, visit our main site). But we also monitor other news outlets, bloggers, newsmakers’ social media feeds, and countless other information streams. Gleanings compiles the most urgent and interesting items we’ve found, explains why you need to know about them, and gives you the background you need to understand them. It’s our snapshot of what God is doing in the world, hour by hour.

Another Marriage Result

Tennesse, like Virginia, has voted to ban same-sex marriage. It looks like more than 80 percent have voted for the ban, similar to the 86 percent who supported a similar ban in neighboring MIssissippi in 2004. The result does not surprise, as both Senate candidates supported the ban in a conservative Southern state. Traditional marriage amendments remain undefeated on the state level. I would have been much more interested to see how Illinois voted, had that initiative gained enough signatures to make it on the ballot.
