September 20, 2009M&S Keeps Us in TouchHere’s today’s brain-teaser: What’s the oldest continuously published magazine in North America? Here’s a clue: It’s also the second-oldest magazine in the English-speaking world. It’s The United Church Observer! The United Church Observer has captured the attention of people of faith for a very long time: 181 years, to be exact. How does it do this? One answer is that this magazine provides pertinent information on ethics, justice, and contemporary living for Canadian Christians. The articles are timely and relevant to those in and outside our pews. Another answer might be that Mission and Service gives The Observer an annual grant. In this age of multitasking, radio provides background noise while you make dinner, you can watch TV and knit, and you can spend hours at a computer screen while talking on the telephone and doing office tasks. It is good to discover a quality magazine that informs, entertains, enlightens, and stirs the imagination. In a national church as large as ours, it’s good to have a publication that can connect us in our common issues and values. The publishers are deeply grateful for your faithful support and want to continue to produce a publication that is worthy of it. Your gifts to Mission and Service can help that happen. © 2008 The United Church of Canada/L’Église Unie du Canada. Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial Share Alike Licence.
