The Death Penalty Information Center’s new Religion and the Death Penalty Web page is now avail­able online. In recent years, a grow­ing num­ber of reli­gious orga­ni­za­tions have par­tic­i­pat­ed in the nation’s death penal­ty debate. The pur­pose of this new Web page is to pro­vide access to infor­ma­tion regard­ing the efforts of these faith groups and to high­light recent devel­op­ments relat­ed to reli­gion and the death penal­ty. The page fea­tures offi­cial reli­gious state­ments on the death penal­ty from near­ly 20 denom­i­na­tions, includ­ing a dozen branch­es of Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. It also includes polling infor­ma­tion and a broad spec­trum of arti­cles and opin­ions con­cern­ing the death penal­ty from a reli­gious point of view. Visit DPIC’s new Religion and the Death Penalty Web page in our Resources Section. Comments and sug­ges­tions are wel­come. (Posted Feb. 26, 2007).
