Editor’s Note from December 19, 1975

I write this from Nairobi, Kenya, where the weather is warm, the sun is shining, and the World Council of Churches is meeting. The next issue of CT will carry a fuller news report as well as my own evaluation of what is taking place.

I wish to send Christmas greetings to all our readers with warm hopes for a happy new year. I am pleased to report that we will end the year in the black and anticipate continued progress in 1976.

In a recent editor’s note I explained the code printed on our address labels. Many readers have sent in long-term renewals that bring their “ITG” (issues to go) figure above 100, but since the computer prints only the last two digits of that figure, it seems as if their ITG has suddenly been reduced by 100 or multiples of 100. May this note help reduce reader anxiety over computer antics!
