From CT copy editor Elise Brandon: My friends sometimes joke that they’re afraid to text me because they need to get their syntactical ducks in a row. I don’t think of myself as the grammar police, though. My job is to think about readers and how they’ll understand a piece. When I’m the only reader, I don’t mind a typo or a misplaced comma. |

It’s harder to turn off my copy-editing brain when I’m reading Christian nonfiction. I go on autopilot and start noticing things. |
|
I’m doing a Bible study with my church right now, and I’ve marked my book with proofreading symbols and slashed-out phrases. I can’t help but notice that insure should really be ensure, there are two instances of "Day Five" in one week, and "unique and special" sounds repetitive. |
|
But I can’t complain too much. Mistakes like these are the reason I have my job. |

Have the world’s messages of "follow your heart" and "be true to yourself" fallen short? These are shared as messages of liberation and self-fulfillment, but Christians follow a different message—one that brings freedom and purpose. The Mere Anglicanism Conference will delve into this message through its 2026 theme: You Are Not Your Own: Gospel Identity in an Age of Expressive Individualism. |

From January 24-26, 2026, world-class scholars and theologians will gather in Charleston, SC to teach, challenge, and encourage attendees through keynote topics like Expressive Individualism’s "Brave New World", Jesus’ Ethic for Finding Fulfillment, Cultural Engagement as Citizens of Christ's Kingdom, and more. This stellar lineup will speak to clergy and laypeople alike, helping us construct a positive vision for how we can practically and joyfully devote ourselves—our bodies and souls—to the service of God and neighbor. Register for the 2026 Mere Anglicanism conference today! |

The Christian story shows us that grace often comes from where we least expect. In this issue, we look at the corners of God’s kingdom and chronicle in often-overlooked people, places, and things the possibility of God’s redemptive work. We introduce the Compassion Awards, which report on seven nonprofits doing good work in their communities. We look at the spirituality underneath gambling, the ways contemporary Christian music was instrumental in one historian’s conversion, and the steady witness of what may be Wendell Berry’s last novel. All these pieces remind us that there is no person or place too small for God’s gracious and cataclysmic reversal. |
