From international editor Angela Lu Fulton: One of the joys of my job is working with writers from all around the world. This week alone, I edited a piece on global Anglicans by Emmanuel Nwachukwu in Abuja, Nigeria; ministries in Cuba by Hernán Restrepo in Bogotá, Colombia; Christians in southern Lebanon by Ghinwa Akiki and Hunter Williamson in Beirut; and an upcoming piece about a Bible translation in Rajasthan, India, by Vikram Mukka in Delhi. |
|
There are unique considerations that I need to factor in as I work out of Columbus, Ohio. Differing time zones force me to plan ahead to make sure that I can get edits back in time to meet our internal deadlines for copyediting and scheduling a piece. Journalism styles and rules also differ from country to country, so we provide training and explain to writers our news guidelines. Sometimes writers will drop in historical events or cultural norms that need no explanation in their home countries but are often unfamiliar with our readership. I often ask writers to provide a line providing some additional context. |
|
The story topic, sources, and on-the-ground color are richer when we have writers who live near where the news is taking place, who speak the local language, and who understand the regions’ cultural and evangelical landscape. If you are a reader from outside the US with stories you think CT should cover, feel free to send us an email at global@christianitytoday.com. |

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. |
