Editorial
BUT WHERE ARE THE WOMEN?
"So where are the women writers? Are they perhaps still less likely than men . . . to claim their rightful public voices?"

LETTER BY AUDREY METZ
"Thanks again for the wonderful article. I do hope Jack Kerouac shared it with Jesus Christ—or vice versa. I’ll bet they had a laugh or two as they remembered the trip."

POETRY BY DAVID WRIGHT
"Early mornings I navigate sleep’s shore, / almost land, until a delinquent dream / appears like a watery hand. . . ."

POETRY BY ALAN SOFFIN
"No longer / Do we see the dead. / No airport services for those / Who died for us. . . ."

A WAR CHILD
Robert Rhodes
"’Someone has to go and rescue Hassan,’ she insisted. ‘You have to go and bring him here to live with us.’"

Beneath the Skyline
SEEKING JOURNEY, MAKING HOME: A GLIMPSE OF YOUNG ADULTHOOD
Deborah Good
"My friends . . . and I write emails and talk on the phone. . . . We visit each other regularly. . . . This may sound like fun, but it also leaves me feeling untethered, scattered, homeless."

AN EXIT OR AN EXODUS? A QUEST FOR GOD AMID DOUBT
Mel Leaman
"Frederick Buechner suggests that ‘doubts can be the ants in pants of faith.’ My belt had already loosened and I feared my pants were about to fall."

A FEW WORRIES ABOUT BEING A POET
David Wright
"To be anxious and to pray both require that we be able to project possibility beyond any given choice. Perhaps the most worried among us may be the most imaginative. . . ."

THE TALE OF A STORYTELLER'S CALLING
Joy Swartley Sawatzky
"The question has always been the same: How do we know what is right for us at any given time?"

EXPLORING ISLAM AND THE CLASH WITH THE WEST: REVIEW OF THE CRISIS OF ISLAM
Marlin Jeschke
"Reflective Middle Easterners have vacillated between two questions: Who did this to us? and Where did we go wrong?"

Books, Faith, World & More
THE PROBLEM OF VIOLENCE: REVIEW OF THREE RESPONSES
Daniel Hertzler
"The typical question, of course, is whether nonviolence ‘works.’ Nagler challenges the old chestnut which holds that violence is necessary because only violence works."

HOW WE COPE: A NEW YORK MINUTE
Cynthia Yoder
If I didn’t have a son at home, waiting in his blue and red train pajamas to kiss me goodnight, I’d run clear out into the yard.

The Turquoise Pen
THE POWER OF WORDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE NOT THERE
Nöel R. King
"The words themselves had . . . . been withdrawing of their own accord, gathering beyond time and space."

Reel Reflections
FAR SIDE OF THE MODERN WORLD: REVIEW OF "MASTER AND COMMANDER"
David B. Greiser
"Both the battle sequences and the conversations serve as commentaries on the modern view of the world."

Kingsview
THE DREAMY DRAW CONVERSATION
Michael A. King
"Just as I reached the end of the short path leading down to the bench on the outcropping, the hiker reached me. As he moved to pass me, he said, 'All mine?'"
