Douglas LeBlanc began covering religion in June 1984 as religion editor of the Morning Advocate in Baton Rouge, La. Since then he has worked as an editor for Compassion International, Episcopalians United (now Anglicans United), and Christianity Today.

His work has appeared in Christian Research Journal, The Weekly Standard and The Wall Street Journal.

Douglas and his wife attend St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Richmond, Va. Two cats have deigned to live with them, and in gratitude the LeBlancs keep them fed and content.
