It’s time for my favorite Weekend Plug-in column of the year!
For this special year-end edition, I asked some of the nation’s top religion journalists to share their best or most important story from 2025.
It’s the holiday season, so I didn’t catch up with everybody. But once again this year, I sure appreciate my Godbeat colleagues who responded — more than 60 in all.
In some cases, writers chose multiple links and invited me to pick my favorite, which I was happy to do.
Enjoy!
This column appears in the online magazine Religion Unplugged.
