Mary E. Phillips 7-01-1997

YOUR MAY-JUNE 1997 cover ("All Together Now!") was timely. We’ve got to work together. It brought to my mind a childhood memory.

Lorna Diggle 5-01-1997

I WAS DISMAYED to learn that in serious studies of Mary Magdalene written in the ’90s the gospel according to Mary would have to be "fictionalized".

Bob Francis 5-01-1997

I ENJOYED reading Duane Shank’s article in the January-February 1997 issue ("Call to Renewal" column).

Sheryl Snyder 5-01-1997

I AM WRITING in reference to "H’rumphs"—"The Only Election Guide You’ll Need" (by Ed Spivey Jr., September-October 1996).

THANKS FOR THE excellent article "The Issue is Poverty" (March-April 1997). As someone who has worked in the inner city of Brooklyn for 35 years, I agree.

David Host 5-01-1997

THANKS FOR THE blessing of Sojourners magazine. 

Ed Sacco 5-01-1997

I am terribly disappointed with the March-April 1997 issue that claims "white supremacy" is an idol ("Blocking the Prayers of the Church," by Eugene F. Rivers 3d).

Jeremy Lloyd 5-01-1997

WITH SOME truth Rosemary Radford Ruether, as quoted by Aaron Gallegos, suggests environmentalists ignore the issues of race and class.

I DID SO MUCH enjoy reading your series of articles about Henri Nouwen’s untimely (from a human perspective anyway) death.

I WANT TO thank Sojourners for honoring the life and work of Nellie Jean Sindab in the January-February 1997 issue ("Labors of Love").

Jeff Shriver 3-01-1997

I WANT TO congratulate Jim Rice on a fine article on the spirituality of leisure ("Why Play?" January-February 1997).

Paul del Junco 3-01-1997

AFTER READING your articles on play and work ("Why Play?," by Jim Rice, and "Why Work?," by Julie Polter), I continue to be amazed that no one I have read recently, from the pope...

Jay Miller 3-01-1997

I AGREE WITH Jim Wallis’ contention in the January-February 1997 issue ("Hearts & Minds")—we must find another way besides the political Right or Left.

Graham Miller 3-01-1997

I RECEIVED MY first issue of Sojourners and was ecstatic to find not only a hint of an article about Henri Nouwen on the front cover, but several articles about him inside.

Don Harting 3-01-1997

MY WIFE THINKS I’m weird. She tells my friend I can’t talk because I’m busy.

Gary Cummings 3-01-1997

I AM A PENTECOSTAL (though I don’t really think the term is scriptural) Christian who has just recently discovered your magazine.
