It was a great month last October. We continued our discussion on why we think “journey” is one of the master themes for this generation.
We also kicked off our series on religion in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, which was a finalist for the award for in-depth reporting given by the Religious Newswriters Association.
Finally, our reporter Pauline Dolle put her finger on a shift of focus by NYC evangelical churches from power politics to community organizing through the creation of micro-networks.

Thank you for reading, watching listening, sharing, commenting on social media, and telling friends about what we do. It means so much to have you as a fellow Journeyer!
