From national political correspondent Harvest Prude: My reporting trip to Utah did not quite go as planned. After a long day traveling Thursday, I almost completely lost my voice. This meant sending panicked texts and emails to all the sources I’d lined meetings up with to explain the situation, see if they were still comfortable meeting up, and give them a heads-up that I sounded like Christian Bale’s Batman. Maybe worse. |
|
Thankfully, folks in Utah are some of the most gracious I’ve ever interviewed. Everyone kept the appointments. My limitations with my voice gave me an opportunity to really hone in on listening well, ask only the most essential questions, and rely on lots of nonverbal cues. As it turns out, people generally know what you mean if you’re smiling, raising your eyebrows, or giving them a thumbs-up. |

It’s the call no ministry leader wants to get — a church employee or volunteer has been accused of sexually abusing a child. |
|
Unfortunately, predators see churches as easy targets, taking advantage of volunteer turnover, lax screening measures or training, loss of supervisory staff, or the natural tendency for believers to trust others. |
|
That’s why the risk management specialists at Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company recommend carefully screening people before adding to your staff or volunteer roster – even if you know them well. A multilayered screening process includes a written application, reference check and interview, background check, and personal interview. |

As we enter the holiday season, we consider how the places to which we belong shape us—and how we can be the face of welcome in a broken world. In this issue, you’ll read about how a monastery on Patmos offers quiet in a world of noise and, from Ann Voskamp, how God’s will is a place to find home. Read about modern missions terminology in our roundtable feature and about an astrophysicist’s thoughts on the Incarnation. Be sure to linger over Andy Olsen’s reported feature "An American Deportation" as we consider Christian responses to immigration policies. May we practice hospitality wherever we find ourselves. |
