(ANALYSIS) Happy anniversary, Weekend Plug-in readers!
This week’s edition marks three years since we launched this newsletter, and I so appreciate everyone who takes the time to read it, share it and offer feedback and ideas.

And this week, we focus on ReligionUnplugged.com itself — the online news magazine’s top read stories of 2022.
