Today marks the launch of the first phase of Religion News Service’s newly designed website, featuring more free full-text content posted every day (in addition to summaries of other stories we’re transmitting, the full-text of which is available to subscribers).

There are many new features coming soon, including a special subscriber area with access to all of our content, with RSS feeds for easy flowing of copy into print and web templates.

And there are some elements to the site that are still “not ready for prime time,” but which will be soon.

We look forward to your comments and ideas as this site continues to evolve over the next few weeks, and we hope that you enjoy greater free access to the output of RNS’ many fine editors, correspondents and columnists.

We remain committed to providing the finest non-biased coverage of religion to consumer newspapers and media, religious publications, and those interested in staying on top of what we think of as the most fascinating news beat around.
