April Issue

Letter from the Editor

From the Editor/editorial staff:

This issue of Interact is, I think, all about hope. It is a hope that springs not from wishful thinking but from a certainty of belief. That certainty originates in a worldview that acknowledges that we are in a battle in which light will overcome darkness, good will overcome evil, and love will overcome hate and indifference; indeed it has already been done.

That doesn't mean that our tasks are finished; in fact, these certainties are the foundational basis for our thoughts, decisions, and actions. If we believe that we are in a pit from which we will not emerge, rather than a dark valley where the sun will surely rise, we risk falling into a crushing despondency. If we do not believe that we are part of something larger than ourselves, it is easy to slip into selfish ambition. If we do not believe that there is a ‘better way’ then we will not dream nor will we aim higher than we can currently reach. It is not from minimizing the realities of these days that allows us to move forward but of looking those realities in the face and addressing them as a community, shoulder to shoulder. Our forward-looking contributors are offering you ideas, stories, tools, and resources in abundance!

Our desire in these pages is that you will find a chorus of voices speaking of light, of life, of important ideas, of good work still to do, and of joy in the midst of a dark time in our collective history. Welcome to the conversation where Hope Springs.

Michael Pollock - Interim Editor
