From senior features editor Kate Lucky: I interviewed the late Luci Shaw last year shortly after I returned from maternity leave. I’d just braved my first flight with a baby, and I had a bad cold.
In the edited version of our conversation, you can get a sense of Shaw’s playfulness and profundity, her loving attention to detail, and her personal warmth. I also interspersed some of her poetry.
What’s not on the page are the words of encouragement she gave me as a new mom. (She had five children herself.) Our conversation didn’t feel like work at all, even as I struggled through it with a sore throat. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with such a wise woman of faith.

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.
