Editorial
Life
What have you gained from your time at York? According to our returning interview feature, The Inquisition, experience is varied: new friends, new perspectives, new thumb-war strategies (no, we don’t understand that one either) — one of our interviewees even mentioned their course. Another of our unsuspecting targets provides a pizza recipe — tried and tested during Christis production and so good we’ve put it here for you.
Elsewhere in this bulging section, we’re celebrating our one-hundred-and-first issue by finding out what York Christians would expect to find in Orwell’s Room 101. It appears that the Christian community can’t even agree on what it disagrees with. That’s not necessarily a bad thing though — between atheists and heaven, you’re bound to find yourself sharing at least one growl with our contributors.

World
What a selection of articles we have in the world section this issue: a whole sum of one that is (and a crossword, but we shall return to that later). The article we have is a beautiful examination of law and order and the ever bubbling issues of chaos and complexity (there is a difference and I’m pretty certain it might be worth something in a mathematical modelling module). There is also the crossword which our dear Anglican chaplain — and the target of last issue’s Inquisition — has created for us. So we hand this section to you with the great honour that you will all absorb its inner depth and will lovingly nurture what it shall tell you.

Belief
Sometimes it can be all too easy to take for granted what we’ve been taught — it’s much simpler to go along with the established views we’ve had drilled into us for years, rather than to investigate these beliefs for ourselves.
Hopefully, this issue’s packed belief section will encourage you to start thinking outside the box. To begin with we have a challenging article by Andrew Leo, asking whether hopes for Heaven are misguided. Elsewhere, Lizzie Freear questions the laws of the Old Testament — is it hypocritical that we adhere to some while rejecting others? — and Greg Melia continues the debate on scriptural authority, presenting us with an alternative view to that expressed by Sophie Cartwright in issue 99.
If any of these articles get you thinking, or if you disagree with what’s been written, then feel free to send us your own thoughts, either as an email or an article, and we’ll do our best to print then in the next issue.
