Gerald E. Groff is taking the postal service to the US Supreme Court. Behind him is a long line of sabbatarians.
The United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on April 18 over whether a Christian postal worker has a religious right not to deliver mail on Sundays.

This month’s cover story delves into a specific facet of theodicy: animal suffering. Also in this issue: the history of missions in Haiti and how evangelicals can respond to today’s crisis, how the ‘daily quiet time’ may be hindering Bible fluency, and the story of God’s powerful work among Bhutanese Nepali refugees who are impacting American churches and communities.
