Why is this amazing news for everyone? Because so much of what makes headlines, from debates over Syrian refugees to battles over the content of public school plays (looking at you, Charlie Brown!), has a religion angle. And more often than not, the best coverage of such stories comes from full-time religion beat specialists.
Tennessee readers, feel free to insert celebratory whooping and hollering here (and don’t forget to hit the play arrow on the Kool and the Gang video above).
The prodigal Godbeat has come home to Music City!

Dropped my subscription to the Tennessean about 20 years ago. Not sure this quite crosses the threshold to try again, but worth a look.
I thought the Tennessean had a religion reporter for quite some time, and remember reading an article from the then-religion reporter on the property dispute between St. Andrew’s Anglican and the DioTN a few years ago.
