Dear Reader

The Editors

A lot of interesting things cross an editor's desk in the course of the average week. Letters, manuscripts, accounts of healing, questions, suggestions, criticisms, and many other things. One of these "other things" is a brief item from "National and International Religion Report" that tells us Bill Moyers, the television commentator, is leaving the political beat and focusing on religious news. Seems that he thinks this is where the most significant stories will be over the next fifty years.

Talking with another journalist on another day, we were surprised to learn he was surprised that a weekly magazine like the Sentinel is made up of things that are written by average, everyday folks—not professional writers or religionists.

It is rather remarkable. But this is the way the Sentinel has been since its founding by Mary Baker Eddy. As a result, the magazine is rooted in people's lives, people who are making spiritual discoveries in their ordinary lives.
