Note from the Managing Editor:
Along with Meaghen and our U.S. and Canadian boards I'd like to thank all of you who have sent us something this Lent to help sustain our little project. If you're feeling that, while you haven't sent anything so far, you'd really like to contribute, you can go here to donate. And a special thanks as always to our monthly donors, whose regular support is so vital. I want to wish all of you a blessing-filled Holy Week and Easter. You should expect to see our next newsletter in your mailbox on April 26. - J. Fraser Field |
