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.

These are the exit polls I want to see: Which values did these heartland evangelicals vote? Did they stick with opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage? Or did concerns about Iraq, the economy, or scandal trump the 2004 Republican gameplan?
