Readers will find a new sequence of contents in this first issue for 1964. Our News section now appears on the last pages, following rather than preceding Books in Review and the Minister’s Workshop. Featured in the News section are a preview of the Pope’s trip to the Holy Land and a report on the sixth triennial assembly of the National Council of Churches held in Philadelphia.
