Thanks for the memories

Your fortieth anniversary issue [Sept. 16] elicited memories, emotion, and elation: Henry's writings, Kantzer in the classroom, my frequent tears re: the Auca "tragedy," and ct-I have all but two issues, an early one I never obtained, the other loaned and never returned. Thanks for the memories and inspiration.

After reading your issue on evangelicalism, I wonder if history will reveal the movement more as a flowering of Reformed evangelical intellectualism and academia than anything else. An intellectual understanding of the world's issues and an appreciation for the relevancy of the Christian faith in addressing them is just one side of the coin. Will the multitudes of today's more enlightened evangelicals be any more effective in living the Christian faith and life in the power of the Holy Spirit than their less sophisticated predecessors?

* Happy birthday! As a senior recycled missionary, I enjoyed reading ct from the very beginnings. May the Lord continue to bless and guide you until his return.

I have been a subscriber to and reader of every issue of ct since its inception 40 years ago. Thus, your anniversary reflective issue was a tremendous blessing and challenge to me. Most of the individuals highlighted in this anniversary issue are friends of mine, and it was wonderful to recognize God's sovereign working in the lives of these giants.

That God himself might raise up another cadre of such quality Christian leaders for this new generation as we move into the next century and millennium is my earnest prayer.
