Editor’s Note from October 21, 1977

CHRISTIANITY TODAY has received a grant to poll clergymen, lay people, seminary teachers, and denominational officials to find out what they believe. The poll, to be conducted by Gallup, will compare its findings with those of earlier surveys to see how beliefs have changed. Sometime next year we will carry the results of this significant project.

Friend wife and I recently welcomed beautiful Lindsay Ann into the family—our fourth grandchild and second granddaughter. Born to Judy and Bill Wood, Lindsay has captivated us all.
