Exvangelicals: Faith, Politics, and Leaving the Church
NPR correspondent Sarah McCammon reflects on her evangelical upbringing and decision to leave it behind, citing the 2016 embrace of Donald Trump by white evangelicals as a turning point. Her book, The Exvangelicals, explores the growing movement of younger Americans leaving evangelical churches, drawing from her own experiences and those of others. McCammon hopes the book will resonate with exvangelicals, provide insight for those unfamiliar with evangelicalism, and encourage empathy and understanding from those still entrenched in the movement.

The Future of the Torah in Europe: Uncertain Times Ahead
A Muslim man in Stockholm, Sweden, who had planned to burn copies of the Torah and Bible in front of the Israeli Embassy, instead discarded his lighter and spoke out against the burning of holy books. The burning of the Quran in Sweden by far-right individuals has sparked outrage and led to geopolitical tensions, with Turkey using it as a pretext to block Sweden's efforts to join NATO. Calls for legal changes to ban such events while preserving democratic values have emerged, and organizations like Amanah are working to combat discrimination and promote interfaith dialogue. The incidents have prompted discussions about the limits of freedom of expression and the need for responsible behavior in the public arena.
