Since you’ve found me, you’re already aware some things are changing at The Lutheran.
The
column of Presiding Bishop Mark S. Hanson relocated to the last page of
the magazine, where the editor’s column used to run. This gives him
more space (an additional 300 words) and affords him the last word as
he strives to carry out his leadership role in our church.
The
change also lets me “introduce” the magazine in a number of ways.
Usually that will mean comment on the articles in the current issue,
what the staff is working on and why, and noting trends and emerging
issues. Editors’ musings rarely “sell” magazines: overall content and
highly talented and thought-provoking writers do. So this editor moved
out of the lead columnist role and into a more traditionally
journalistic one of editorial assessment and professional observations
on the church.
