Many topical entries in our A-Z Index include links to related news items - both archived and up-to-date. (See, for example, news items about the Jehovah's Witnesses, or on the Mormon Church)

You'll also find up-to-date news about religious cults, sects, religions and related issues at Religion News Blog, which is operated by Apologetics Index.

Shown here are the most recent headlines:


Incidentally, if you have a website, you may use that news ticker free of charge.

Items published in our previous news publication, Religion News Report, are archived on this site (this archive includes items posted between Oct. 25, 1999 and Jan. 31, 2002), while items published in Religion News Blog are archived there (from July 2002 - older articles are added as time permits).

Thus there are several ways that you can access RNR news items:

• The latest news is always posted at Religion News Blog.
• Use the pre-defined archived news searches found at certain A-Z Index entries. Examples: Branch Davidians, Falun Gong
• Use the pre-defined searches for current news items. Examples: Scientology, Aum Shinrikyo
• Search the database yourself.
