It’s obvious from this issue that York University has some very intelligent students. Some of the articles here are particularly challenging, but at the same time very readable. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as those people at the Christis meeting who decided to put them in.
We had a reassuring number of articles submitted for this issue, all of which we wanted to see in print, but we had to hold a few back, simply for space reasons. Hence I can promise that the next issue is going to be equally as good as this one.
If you’d like to see your work in print, then just send it to us c/o the SU centre pigeonholes or the society account (submissions@christis.org.uk). The variety of thought within the Christian belief means that we will welcome an article from all sorts of angles. In particular we’d like to see responses to articles in this issue, articles relating Christianity to current affairs, and issues which really matter on campus.
Hope to hear from you soon,
