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.

Santorum Goes Down

In one of CT's Races to Watch, Pennsylvania State Treasurer Bob Casey Jr. has defeated Republican Sen. Rick Santorum. Two years ago after Democrats suffered across-the-board defeats, they circled this race. Political observers widely expected Santorum would lose, but it bears mentioning that one of Time magazine's top 25 evangelicals will not return to his leadership position in the Senate. It will be very interesting to watch Casey's voting record in the Senate, to see if he can become a champion for Religious Left values issues and maintain a meaningful pro-life record.
