TO OUR READERS

The Editors

At a recent editorial meeting, one of the staff brought up the need to address the fragmentation appearing in many different forms—from separation between citizens and their government, to shifts in social mores and values, to divisions in families, churches, and other valued institutions.

"Unity that won't fracture" goes right to the spiritual laws that make unity possible in the first place. "Tenants versus a landlord: what brought them together" shows specifically how these ideas, applied, will unite even factions that don't necessarily want to cooperate.

In "The holy experience of parenting" a mother relates the healing of conflict with her son. "All unashamed" tells of spiritual healing and also of the writer's journey out of smoking and drinking to a purer, more joyful view of life. "Knowing how to act" answers questions that many people have, especially when they are just starting out on their own.

If you or someone you know is thinking about moving—and U-Haul International says that millions of people move each year—you'll find useful thoughts in "Moving: the home we can't leave behind" and in "Home furnishings."

An author who lives in Nigeria asks, "Have you prayed for your country today?" His reminder that prayer can help our nations as well as ourselves is a timely one! "News & Trends" speaks of the importance of relationships in having a thriving, healthy church. And the editorial, "Why are people interested in spirituality?" speaks of the healing power that comes with a deeper understanding of who and what we are in God's eyes
