Have you met Ayelet2? She’s one of the seven Beliefnet members you voted as most inspiring community member last year.
Have you been on the Catholicism boards recently? There’s a hot debate there about the reemergence of confession as a popular spiritual practice. Or take a look at the Prayer boards, where Beliefnet members are discussing whether prayer has an impact on God’s plan.

When was the last time you shared your thoughts on a member-created prayer circle? Dozens of prayers circles are awaiting your prayers.
Beginning this week, the Community News blog will bring you the inside scoop on our amazing members, feistiest discussions and fiercest debates, touching prayer circles, member stories and photos, and much more.
Most importantly, we’ll keep you updated on new developments with the new Beliefnet community site, slated to launch later this month. Want a sneak preview of the new site? Take a look at the new tools we’ll be offering, from personal profile pages to journals to video, and sign up to be the first to be notified when it launches.
As always, we welcome your feedback about anything going on in the community. Feel free to post your comments on this blog, or get in touch with the community staff here. Thanks for your help in making Beliefnet the vibrant, diverse, and unique community that it is.
