HuffPost Religion has been blessed with a wonderfully diverse group of bloggers who practice many of the world's great religious traditions. Over the past year, our bloggers have been like our correspondents in the field -- they're the ones who are out there engaging in social justice activism, caring for and loving their neighbors of different faiths, and asking the hard questions about what it really means to know God.
From a Mormon mom's personal essay about standing up for her gay son, to a rabbi's faith-fueled argument against Islamophobia, here are 15 of HuffPost Religion's most moving blogs from 2015:
