This has been a pivotal year for SpokaneFAVS. We broke away from our national partner, Religion News LLC, and began forming our own, local non-profit, with our own local board of trustees. We created a brand new website. You, the FAVS community, helped us raised the money we needed to do all this, and our 50-plus writers kept insightful content flowing on the site while this transition took place. Several of those posts not only appeared here, on SpokaneFAVS, but also in the Religion News Service, The Spokesman-Review, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, Believe Out Loud, Red Letter Christian, Sojourners and other national publications.
These are the top 10 posts from 2014:
