Editorial
SEEING GOSPEL THICKNESS
"In the end . . . the story of pilgrimge is what all the writings in this issue are thickly telling."

POETRY BY KAITLYN NAFZIGER and by
CHERYL DENISE

SWIMMING AGAINST THE CURRENT: YOUNG ADULTS AND RELIGIOUS ORTHODOXY
Mark R. Wenger
"It is both invigorating and maddening to see young adults more conservative and principled in their religious practice than their parents, pastors, and teachers. They are rebelling against rebellion."

WHAT HAVE WE TO FEAR?
Kris Anne Swartley
"As I get to know my peers, I sense the differences between us, and I wonder if they can sense it too. I want to share who I am with them, but I also do not want to build walls between us because our values are different."

A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY FROM COURTROOM WARRIOR TO PEACEMAKER
Douglas Noll
"I went back to my law firm, where I was a senior partner, and told my partners I was changing my business card from "Attorney at Law" to "Peacemaker." . . . This caused great consternation and . . . led to my separation from the firm. . . ."

THE ANGELS, THE HATS, AND THE WARDROBE
Joanne Lehman
"Sometimes now, I fancy Rhoda my angel, flying alongside me. Instead of a halo, she's wearing a hat trimmed with elaborate, brightly colored plumes and secured with a jeweled pin."

ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM. . . ?
Norman R. de Puy
"If there is moving from one tradition to another, is it simply a matter of dissolution? Or could it also be a sign of coming together as the One Body?"

Marginalia
PRIVILEGED WHITE GIRLS IN AFRICA
Valerie Weaver-Zercher
"I would love to return to Africa. . . . to show my husband and children the frangipani trees I climbed . . . . But how do I salvage these happy memories when Whiteness and the privilege of a long-tether rope made them possible?"

Kingsview
OUTREACH THAT FITS THE MESSAGE: TWO MISSIONARY KIDS REFLECT
Michael A. King with Valerie Weaver-Zercher
"There are aspects of who I am that, like it or not, are Mexican, because they are bred into my bones almost as deeply-and possibly in some cases more deeply-than my American characteristics."

WINEMAKER AND PARTYGOER
Randy Klassen
"How does the world see Jesus? Do its citizens see him as a Winemaker and Partygoer who could be sitting on the barstool beside them sharing a good joke?"

Books, Faith, World & More
THE VISION OF JEFF GUNDY: A REVIEW OF SCATTERING POINT: THE WORLD IN A MENNONITE EYE
Daniel Hertzler
"Gundy . . . wishes to practice the authentic Anabaptist faith, but wonders how this may be done in a society where . . . he himself is . . . quite comfortable."

Reel Reflections
SOME BOOKS ABOUT THE MOVIES
David Greiser
"For me, watching movies. . . . is an exercise in worldview evaluation, art appreciation, and cultural observation. Here are some books that will enhance the viewing experience at multiple levels."

The Turquoise Pen
LARGE WATER JUGS BANNED FROM OFFICE
Noël R. King
"'Look what kind of penetrating concentration I was able to give them when I was NOT in the bathroom! I'm telling you-have you ever consistently drunk 96 ounces of water a day? Your mind revs up to warp speed!'"
