Sojourners Magazine Awards

Sojourners magazine received many honors at the joint annual conventions of the Evangelical Press Association (EPA) and the Associated Church Press (ACP) last week in Indianapolis. In fact, for the first time ever, the EPA honored Sojourners with the "Award of Excellence" (first place) as the best general-interest magazine. The ACP also awarded Sojourners first place in its "Best In Class" competition. Overall, Sojourners magazine received 25 awards, including six first-place awards, five second-place awards, and 11 third-place awards.

At Sojourners, we strive to provide our readers with articles that feature quality writing, thought-provoking topics, and robust theological discussion. While the purpose for publishing Sojourners magazine has nothing to do with winning awards, we hope you will join us in celebrating the editors, writers, and artists who contribute to publishing a top-notch collection of articles each month that articulates the biblical call to social justice, inspiring hope and building a movement to transform individuals, communities, the church, and the world.
