Editor’s Note from September 29, 1972

This issue marks the end of our sixteenth year of publication and contains the annual index, with 5,000 entries. Students, teachers, and preachers will find this index useful in writing papers, sermonizing, and teaching.

Months ago we sent Managing Editor David E. Kucharsky to the Soviet Union as part of the entourage that accompanied President Nixon on his historic trip, and he brought back information on the religious situation behind the Iron Curtain. This summer News Editor Edward Plowman traveled throughout Europe, spending some of his time at the Olympic games at Munich. His first report appears in this issue.

Next issue Mr. Plowman will survey the religious scene in a four-page report that will concentrate on the moving of God’s Spirit among the young people of Europe. He has brought back voluminous information gleaned from conversations with young people who have been gloriously converted. This is a thrilling and challenging story that includes dramatic accounts of conversions among Communist writers at Munich. It all begins to sound like an updated version of the Acts of the Apostles.
