Our spring 2025 issue is a celebration of belonging — which, in the words of theologian Willie James Jennings, “should be the goal of all education—not just any kind of belonging, but a profoundly creaturely belonging that performs the returning of the creature to the creator.”
Discover what belonging means to many of our community members in the spring 2025 issue, which can be explored here.
Guidelines for submissions to future editions of the journal can be found here.
