Dear Reader

The Editors

As you are well aware, people have concerns these days about the quality of life going downhill, about people losing contact with people, about answering machines talking with machines giving automated sales pitches, about the loneliness and emptiness of the late twentieth century. But the community of Sentinel readers surely doesn't fit that stereotype. You are people who still care extremely deeply about the important issues. You communicate, you write letters, you write articles, and you are staying involved.

This two-way, people-to-people communication is the kind that helps us all during challenging times. One reader says that for her the Sentinel provides a meeting place where ideas and experiences can be shared by a worldwide family in a special way. That's just how it seems to us too.

In this issue one contributor looks honestly at the question of whether today's business person can afford to live by Jesus' teachings. Another write out of her own experience answers the question "What can we possibly do when the world seems to cave in, when things look so hopeless that we feel we're at the end of our wits?" An editorial comments: "Perhaps the belief that divine Love is not absolute and total, but rather remains half-hidden in some remote philosophical realm, is one of the reasons that fear and conflict seem to dog humanity relentlessly."
