INSIDE:LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE

The Editors

When we start listing the basics of a good society, good families are near the top. That's agreed upon by everybody from politicians to social thinkers. And the rest of us—the people directly involved in trying to produce those good families—would certainly agree as well. The question is how to do it, especially when so much in our society seems to be working against it.

This Sentinel offers some timely support for the hard work and extremely important task of raising good families. After all, those familiar words we'll be hearing at graduation ceremonies are not meaningless. And behind the usual statements about young people being the hope of the future is simple, potent truth. When you have loved and nurtured and strengthened a child, you have done something terrific for humanity's future as well as your own family.

"Willingness to be faithful to God in bringing out His image and likeness in our thought fulfills that trust [in us as parents]," writes one of this week's contributors. Through thick and thin, through better and worse, this fidelity elevates family, church, and society. This elevation is the deeper purpose of our lives."
