EDITORIAL:
TRANSITIONING ON
"I think this DSM issue continues to demonstrate why I see publishing
it as a worthwhile labor of love."
POETRY
BY JONATHAN BEACHY
"Holding the box of wine / (intending to pour it into the chalice) / I
am momentarily distracted. . . ."
POETRY BY CHRIS LONGENECKER
"I
think I finally know how trees must feel. . . ."
THE
COMMANDMENT THAT SHOULD BE MARKED PG-13
Katie Funk Wiebe
"What
happened at the end when the frail old man, smiling weakly when
visitors saw him, and the person Mother lived with were two different
persons?"
MOM’S BIRTHDAY
Joyce Peachey Lind
"We
listen to her labored breathing; I look at her lying on the white
hospital table with a cap on to warm her. Her eyes are closed."
Kingsview
POP’S ENCORE
Michael A. King
"Earlier
last year I thought Aaron M. King had pretty much given the fathering
he had to give. Yet his encore transformed much of what had gone
before."
Five Hours
East
AT NIGHT (PRESENTLY IN NIGERIA)
Brenda Hartman-Souder
"Watching
them at night, I can barely breathe. It’s here as I briefly stand guard
that my love for them most swiftly and powerfully rises and swirls
through me. . . ."
Beneath the
Skyline
MORE THAN ONE KIND OF EXPERT
Deborah Good
"In
Philadelphia, where I live, the mayor often raises alarm over the fact
that only about 60 percent of public high school students graduate
within six years of entering as freshmen. . . ."
Reel
Reflections
"THE KING’S SPEECH": A MONARCH
FINDS HIS VOICE
Dave Greiser
"In
ordinary hands, this film might have become another wordy, slowly paced
BBC costume drama. In Hopper’s hands it is a tightly paced story that
builds toward surprisingly deep feeling."
AN ATHEIST
REFLECTS ON ANABAPTISM
Alan Soffin
"Religion
asks for the meaning of life . . . . this is what Anabaptism . . .
realized was not a subject for early, uninformed, immature commitment."
TONGUE SCREWS AND TESTIMONIES
Cynthia Page
"After the reading of the tortures ended, the evening improved."
THOUGHTS ON THE DEATH OF OSAMA
BIN LADEN
Daniel Liechty
"If we revel in . . .the death of our enemies, this plants a seed. . .
."
Books, Faith,
World & More
FROM JONATHAN EDWARDS TO KARL
ROVE: A REVIEW OF HEAD
AND HEART
Daniel Hertzler
"Wills’ thesis is that both Enlightenment (head religion) and
Evangelicalism (heart religion) influenced our history."
The Turquoise
Pen
TODAY AT LUNCH
Nöel R. King
"When
I get back to work this afternoon, I will go online to see how
history’s changed from what they taught me as a child. Is JFK still
dead since Dallas?"
