You May Have Noticed A New Name Under "Managing Editor" On this issue's masthead: Warren Bolon.
Warren has been working in the Journal, Sentinel, and Herald editorial department since 2001. Most recently, he's been based in the Chicago area as a senior writer and editor for both the Journal and its sister publication the Christian Science Sentinel. Readers have enjoyed his bylined contributions and interviews for these magazines, as well as the many editorials Warren has contributed to the Sentinel as part of a team of writers. He and his wife, Holly, are moving to Boston from Evanston, Illinois, where he's just finished a term as First Reader for their Christian Science branch church. We look forward to Warren's editorship of the Journal and welcome him.
You may also be missing Marilyn Jones's name from this month's masthead. Marilyn has moved on to a new phase in her career. She also came to us in 2001 to work on the Sentinel, where she wrote many memorable feature stories. Her coverage of the support work done in lower Manhattan in the wake of the 9/11 attacks broke new ground for us. After working as a senior writer on the Sentinel, she became the Journal's managing editor in 2006. We're grateful for all that Marilyn has contributed and wish her the very best.
This month we're focusing on two aspects of the Science that Mary Baker Eddy discovered that go hand-in-hand: practice and proof. Because a science is essentially a body of laws that yields consistent results when correctly applied, it's a fact that you really can't have one without the other. And because Christian Science is a healing Science, it's nothing short of correct to say that the proof is in the healing it brings.
The Science of Christian healing has its laboratory, too. It's proved in the lives of those who apply its spiritual rules in their ordinary moments, as well as in life's sometimes extraordinary challenges. You'll see something of that range of experience in this month's content—from the feature articles, to the five short accounts of "The Divine in Everyday Life," to the testimonies of healing.
We hope you'll find in these pages ideas that move you. Move you in heart and soul of course. But also ideas that advance your own practice and proof of God's caring presence in your life.
