International editor Angela Lu Fulton: By the time you read the CT news articles linked in this email newsletter, ideas have been teased and refined, paragraphs moved and deleted, words written and rewritten. A good story starts with a good idea. Sometimes contributors send me story ideas based on conversations with church friends or what’s happening in their city. Other times, I notice a news story that would be of interest to our readers and assign it to a writer. Over email, we discuss the focus and angle of the story, the people they should interview, and the deadline. |
|
Then the research and reporting begins! The writers talk to people on the ground as well as experts in the field. They read articles and perhaps even books on the topic and piece together a cohesive article that’s engaging and newsworthy. Once they send me their drafts, I make edits to the structure to improve the flow, go through the piece line by line to tighten and improve their writing, and leave comments asking for more details. At times, I ask for larger edits—maybe the writer needs to go back and interview a new source or add a section that would help readers better understand a topic. |
|
This process takes time and trust on the writer’s part that I will steward their words and ideas well and make their piece stronger and clearer, even if it means I delete lines they love or even entire sections that veer from the piece’s main focus. We hope the end result is an article that you can both learn from and enjoy reading. |

May 1, 1572: Pius V, pope from 1566, dies at age 68. A reforming pope, he ordered bishops and clergy to accept the propositions of the Council of Trent, but he also vehemently opposed the Reformation. He rarely hesitated to use the Inquisition in Italy and hastily excommunicated England’s Elizabeth I (creating serious problems for English Catholics). |

In this issue of Christianity Today and in this season of the Christian year, we explore the bookends of life: birth and death. You’ll read Karen Swallow Prior’s essay on childlessness and Kara Bettis Carvalho’s overview of reproductive technologies. Haleluya Hadero reports on artificially intelligent griefbots, and Kristy Etheridge discusses physician-assisted suicide. There is much work to be done to promote life. We talk with Fleming Rutledge about the Crucifixion, knowing that while suffering lasts for a season, Jesus has triumphed over death through his death. This Lenten and Easter season, may these words be a companion as you consider how you might bring life in the spaces you inhabit. |
