Editor’s Note from September 23, 1977

With this issue CHRISTIANITY TODAY completes its twenty-first year of publication. I’m in my thirteenth year of service and my ninth year as editor. Our circulation is 144,000 and we need $135,000 in gift income, beside circulation and advertising revenue, to balance the budget by the end of our fiscal year.

When I came to CHRISTIANITY TODAY we required $450,000 a year in gift income. Today, because of inflation, that would be equivalent to $750,000. This year we needed $300,000, half of which has come in. We are grateful for the improved financial picture. Special kudos go to our publisher, Harold Myra.

From now on all mailing labels will show the month and year of the expiration for each subscription.

The CT archives are a rich treasure of biblical wisdom and insight from our past. Some things we would say differently today, and some stances we've changed. But overall, we're amazed at how relevant so much of this content is. We trust that you'll find it a helpful resource.
