Howdy Anglicans! I am not a man of many words. I just want to say that here’s another issue of Baccanalia, it is not a thick and glossy mag but it is filled with articles that can be informative, entertaining or whatever you chooseto think of them. I would like to thank everyone who participated in making this magazine and apologize to those who I harassed and begged for some kind of help even if they did not volunteer in contributing something to these pages. Oh well, I have to say something more. It’s been another great year for us Anglicans; we’ve had many great events of various kinds and you can read (and then reminisce) about some of them in this magazine. In addition to that, this magazine offers different insights to being an Anglican; from experiencesof studying abroad to interesting journeys to the minds of a couple of long-time Anglicans. And as not to forget what actually connects us all, the English department that is, we have included an interview of a new member of the staff, Alyson Pitts. I hope you enjoy the contents and I wish you a Happy May Day!
