Arianna Huffington's HuffPost now has a religion page edited by Paul Rauschenbusch. Nice catch. Paul is the great grandson of Walter Rauschenbusch, an early 19th century theologian who promoted the "social gospel." (Is there another kind?)
Several columnists, such as Jim Wallis, Joan Chittister, and Brian McClaren, are well known in religious left circles, but the site also has some new faces. See Eddie Glaude's take on the black church, for example.
On day one, the site has a nice mix of stories, all the way from gays in the military to Lenten practices to Muslim protests over TSA airport scanning devices--typical fare for HuffPost. Plus, with HuffPost, you always get a little Hollywood gossip as a side dish.
