Behind the Story
From senior staff writer Emily Belz: I wouldn’t describe journalism as a cheerful profession, but every so often good news does win the day. CT’s Compassion Awards are a way to share good news. I covered the story of one award winner, an organization serving Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, called The Nehemiah Foundation, and after we published the article, its staff told us the piece was encouraging after a hard year where politics had divided their community.
We also saw happy developments for an organization we’re showcasing in the newsletter today, Safe Families for Children. In a newsletter to supporters this past week, its founder David Anderson shared that the organization had been approved as a federal partner. That’s something Safe Families has been working toward over a decade, partly because those federal partners must have evidence-based research to show the programs work. Safe Families wanted to prove the value of its method—supporting families with children at risk of entering foster care. They proved it with research showing “sustained favorable effect.” That’s good news we want to tell, cheerfully.

The Christian story shows us that grace often comes from where we least expect. In this issue, we look at the corners of God’s kingdom and chronicle in often-overlooked people, places, and things the possibility of God’s redemptive work. We introduce the Compassion Awards, which report on seven nonprofits doing good work in their communities. We look at the spirituality underneath gambling, the ways contemporary Christian music was instrumental in one historian’s conversion, and the steady witness of what may be Wendell Berry’s last novel. All these pieces remind us that there is no person or place too small for God’s gracious and cataclysmic reversal.
