INSIDE: LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE

The Editors

This week's Sentinel discusses some significant issues. We consider in our cover story, for example, the individual's own responsibility for the environment. Yet most people may feel they have enough to deal with just confronting personal difficulties, family challenges, or community problems. It may seem that one more global crisis is just too much to consider, let alone pray about.

The premise the Sentinel works on, however, is that problems don't exist without solutions and that genuine spirituality generates practical strength and peace. It doesn't have to be cloistered or sheltered to flourish. Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science, once commented, "This strength is like the ocean, able to carry navies, yet yielding to the touch of a finger. This peace is spiritual; never selfish, stony, nor stormy, but generous, reliable, helpful, and always at hand" (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany).

We can rely much more on the nature of spiritual reality as vastly larger than both individual and world problems. And there's both peace and active healing in this perception.
