Creative expressions of faith are wanted from folks age 18 to 35 for the magazine pilot that will be published and distributed to Episcopal campus ministries and Episcopal churches with young adult programs. Creative expressions of all sorts are welcome, including but not limited to art, creative non-fiction, poetry, and photography. "Expressions of faith" may by all means include doubt and searching. We seek art from all genres, and writing that is creative, raw, and authentic. Deadline for the pilot issue is August 27, 2004, to be published by January 2005.
