Why I like PRISM magazine
To be crass, I like PRISM because they publish my articles.
But I love being associated with PRISM (I’m listed on the masthead as a contributing editor, I believe) because they love Jesus and are seeking to embody God’s desire for justice in the world. PRISM is the voice of Evangelicals for Social Action. I don’t agree with everything PRISM promotes. In fact, there was a recent issue of the weekly e-newsletter where I agreed with little. But PRISM is a space where one can have a civil, thoughtful exchange on a wide range of practical issues. And the discourse remains civil. How many places do you know like that? For example, though I openly embrace capitalism from my perch as an urban minister, my voice is heard and considered, and respectfully engaged.
Another reason I like PRISM is because Kristyn and the team come up with cool covers, like this one:
This is the cover of the September 05 issue where I had the cover story on “Surfacing Hispanic Leaders.” Here is the PDF of that article.
P.S. - I’m not writing this post at 413am PST, but rather at 715am EST. I’m waiting for my flight home from JFK to LAX.
