Pete Hegseth's Christian rhetoric draws renewed scrutiny after the US goes to war with Iran
WASHINGTON - Since becoming defense secretary, Pete Hegseth has found no shortage of ways to bring his strand of conservative evangelicalism into the Pentagon. He hosts monthly Christian worship services for employees. His department's promotional videos have displayed Bible verses alongside military footage. In speeches and interviews, he often argues the U.S. was founded as a Christian nation and troops should embrace God, potentially risking the military's secular mission and hard-won pluralism.
Minneapolis shooting reignites debate over gun control and prayer
Thoughts and prayers. The invocation appears like a litany after every mass shooting - and the backlash is just as inevitable.

With growing urgency, more US Jews urge Israel to ensure ample food deliveries to Gaza

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - They are a day away from becoming Catholic priests, rehearsing for their ordination Mass under the gothic cathedral's arches.

In Virginia, a military stronghold becomes a haven for Afghan refugees
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Kat Renfroe was at Mass when she saw a volunteer opportunity in the bulletin. Her Catholic parish was looking for tutors for Afghan youth, newly arrived in the United States. There was a personal connection for Renfroe. Her husband, now retired from the Marine Corps, had deployed to Afghanistan four times. "He just never talked about any other region the way he did about the people there," she said. She signed up to volunteer. "It changed my life," she said.
From the left and right, US Catholics hope new pope fulfills their hopes

WASHINGTON (AP) - There is so much history between the walls of Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, which has hosted funerals for Rosa Parks and Frederick Douglass and opened its pews to American presidents and civil rights icons. It made history again this year: Thanks to a lawsuit, Metropolitan AME now controls the trademark to the Proud Boys, the far-right group that once vandalized the church's property in Washington.
Christian aid groups weigh life-threatening choices about who to help after USAID funding pause
WASHINGTON (AP) - In a warehouse in Haiti, nearly four metric tons of seeds cannot be distributed.

WASHINGTON (AP) - One of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's first meetings in the United States this week was not with American Jewish leaders but with evangelical ones.

US Jews upset with Trump's latest rhetoric say he doesn't get to tell them how to be Jewish
Since the start of his political career, Donald Trump has played on stereotypes about Jews and politics. He told the Republican Jewish Coalition in 2015 that “you want to control your politicians” and suggested the audience used money to exert control. In the White House, he said Jews who vote for Democrats are “very disloyal to Israel.” Two years ago, the former president hosted two outspoken antisemites for dinner at his Florida residence.
