Lutheran Witness: September 2006

Normally, we use this space to draw your attention to a particular article—often the cover story—in the issue at hand. This month, though, I’d like to comment on the regular department known as “Letters.” Each month, we receive far more letters to-the-editor than we possibly can hope to print. This is both gratifying and a shame. It’s gratifying because so many readers take the time each month to share their thoughts on stories, columns, and other letters. But it’s also a shame because, owing to space limitations, we can publish only a handful. This will change in coming months with the advent of a vastly revised Lutheran Witness Web site (www.lcms.org/witness).
