EDITORIAL
Yes, this is lion & lamb. But as you can see we have made a few
changes. The most obvious change is in the look and feel of the magazine.
Our hope is that this redesign will make the magazine more .user friendly..
A second change relates to the content of the magazine. Instead of receiving
a separate ECONI News, reports on our work and information on what is
coming up will now be included within lion & lamb. A third change
is that there will now be three issues per year instead of four. Finally,
there has been a change of personnel. We have said goodbye to Ruth Hutchinson,
our previous Assistant Editor, and in her place we welcome Anna Rankin,
ECONI.s recently appointed Resource Co-ordinator. Derek Poole, the previous
editor, is still with us but has handed over the blue pencil to Alwyn
Thomson.
One thing we have
not changed though is the content . our aim remains to bring together
thoughtful and intelligent reflections on the challenges facing us as
a society in Northern Ireland, and to reflect biblically on the challenges
facing the Christian community seeking to live out faith in
this place.
In this issue of
lion & lamb we have brought together a broad range of writers to discuss
the shape of .loyalism.. In particular our writers look at the nature
of loyalism, the challenges facing loyalism at this time and at the challenge
loyalism presents to the Christian community.
As this new edition
of lion & lamb looks forward we also take time to look back. It is
almost fifteen years since ECONI published For God and His Glory Alone,
but the biblical principles set out in that work remain at the core
of all we do. Over the next year we will be reprinting each of the ten
biblical principles presented in that work. In this issue we start with
Love and Forgiveness . two themes no less necessary and no less difficult
now than in 1988.
All of this and more. We hope you find the new look lion & lamb stimulating, challenging, encouraging and perhaps even a little irritating at times. If you do, we would love to hear from you. You know where to find us.
