You’re reading Dispatch Faith, our weekly newsletter exploring the intersection of religion and public life from leading writers of various faiths. Hi and happy Sunday. I’ll be honest: When we launched this newsletter more than two years ago, I did not anticipate working Playboy into a headline, much less insinuating that Christians have something to learn from it. Michael Reneau is the executive editor at The Dispatch and is based in Greeneville, Tennessee. Prior to joining the company in 2022, he was editor of WORLD Magazine and for several years was editor of a daily newspaper in East Tennessee. When Michael isn’t editing, he stays plenty busy with his wife and four kids. Mark Kendall’s writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, the San Francisco Chronicle, and other publications. A lifelong Californian, save for one year in his teens, he has road-tripped Route 66 from Chicago to San Bernardino. He spent more than two decades in higher education communications at Pomona College, including a stint as managing editor of Pomona College Magazine.
