Editor’s Note from December 05, 1975

By the time this issue arrives in your home I’ll be in Nairobi covering the Fifth Assembly of the World Council of Churches. I hope to have an interpretive overview of the assembly in the January 2 issue.

Our readers will want to hear Billy Graham’s address to the nation via TV on New Year’s Eve, as the Bicentennial year commences.

CHRISTIANITY TODAY has a subscription fund used to send the magazine to some poeple who could not get it any other way. Among these are some prisoners who have become Christians and who want to read CT regularly. If you’d like to help, please send us a contribution marked Subscription Fund (our address is on page 3).

Also in this issue

The CT archives are a rich treasure of biblical wisdom and insight from our past. Some things we would say differently today, and some stances we've changed. But overall, we're amazed at how relevant so much of this content is. We trust that you'll find it a helpful resource.
