When news began circulating of the merger of The Mennonite and Mennonite World Review, I was hopeful the resulting publication would be more moderate than “progressive.” Although there are a number of former MWR staff in the Anabaptist World organization, it has the same very liberal/progressive slant that I previously read in The Mennonite, which I canceled. It is with angst I terminate subscribing to this periodical. There have been excellent writers and excellent articles. Unfortunately, the number of “current cultural” articles and lack of biblically based pieces leaves me spiritually anemic.
