Canada's Christian Community Online Website has a good article on the Christian online dating scene. It gives a general overview and what Christian singles can expect when joining a Christian niche dating site compared to a general dating service like Match.com or Yahoo. The article also explores the over saturated online dating site market blaming the fact that companies think it's easy to market and create a dating site.

ChristianCafe.com is also mentioned in this article with a few good quotes from Sam Moorcroft the president of this Christian dating service. Christian Cafe is the largest Christian niche dating site in the world and controls over a third of this market. You can find more information about Christian Cafe by reading our review.

Reuters has a piece regarding some U.S. Rabbis who are using Jewish online dating services like JDate to help their single congregants. They are offering subscriptions in the hopes of them meeting someone from the Jewish Faith. The US Jewish community are concerned over their dwindling numbers. Some people have estimated that half of the Jews who married in the United States have married someone from a different faith.

Currently Rabbi Donald Weber of Marlboro, New Jersey and his wife (a rabbi in the liberal Reform Movement) have setup a fund and offer JDate subscriptions to anyone over the age of 18 and who are single, in their congregation.
