After serving four years as the Editor of the Tidings Magazine, and trying to balance that time-consuming role with his income-producing job as a tax CPA, Bro. George Booker is stepping down as Editor. We want to thank Bro. George for his service as Editor. He has had a very positive impact on the Tidings. Among other contributions, Bro. George’s Reflections and short meditations, some written by himself and some by others, regularly get complimentary comments from our readers. We are pleased that Bro. George has agreed to continue providing these and other studies in his new role as Associate Editor. In this new role Bro. George will also have more time to devote to several book projects, which should be of great interest to the brotherhood.
Bro. Peter Hemingray will be the new Editor of the Tidings, starting with the May issue. Bro. Peter has wide and varied experience in the Brotherhood, and his writings are well-known (e.g., his biography of Bro. John Thomas appeared as a series in the Tidings, and was published as a book). We are grateful to Bro. Peter for taking on this responsibility.
The Tidings is beginning a transition to a new way of working where the editorial work is shared among more people. The editorial staff now includes the following brothers and sisters:
Editor: Peter Hemingray
Associate Editor: George Booker
Section Editors: Ken & Joan Curry (Music & Worship), Tim Young (First Principles), Jason Hensley (Youth Speaks), John Bilello (Letters to the Editor), Jim Harper (Sunday School material & activities), Ryan Mutter (Bible & History), Lori Cusenza (News & Notices), Jan Berneau (Bible Mission), Kathy Hill (Coming Events, Layout)
Contributing Editors: Steve Cheetham, Nathan Badger
Web Master: Peter Bilello
Book Editors: John Bilello, Ethel Archard
Printing & Mailing: Brian McDonald
Subscriptions & Finances: Rose Madge
We thank these brothers and sisters for their willingness to support the work of the Tidings. We publish editorial, exhortational, and expositional material based on the Scriptures. We also publish News & Notices, Bible Mission, and Coming Events of interest to the Brotherhood primarily in North America and the Caribbean.
Finally we wish to thank all our subscribers and readers for their continued interest and support for the Tidings. Your letters, comments, and financial support are greatly appreciated and encourage the many hands needed to produce the magazine on a regular basis. May God continue to bless the work of the Tidings in our serving together as we await the coming of our Lord.
