Since 1849, The Congregationalist has offered a steady, faith-centered voice, educating, inspiring, and connecting Congregational Christians across distances and generations. But what does it mean to steward such a publication? What stories are chosen, what voices are elevated, and how does a magazine remain rooted in the Congregational Way while speaking to an ever-changing world?

Join Maggie Helmick, current editor of The Congregationalist, for a special conversation with two former editors, Larry Sommers and Marianne King. Together, these three stewards of the page will reflect on their journeys to the editor’s chair, their editorial philosophies, and the evolving mission of a magazine that has long been more than ink on paper. Attendees will also be invited to pose their own questions, making this an engaging and interactive evening of reflection and insight.

Whether you are a longtime reader, a contributor, or simply curious about the life of this historic publication, this conversation promises a meaningful peek behind the curtain at the discernment, dedication, and faith that shape each issue.

Come discover how The Congregationalist continues to build bridges between past and present, tradition and innovation, local and national, and how its pages remain a living testament to the vibrant, multidimensional community it serves.

This virtual event will take place on March 9th at 6:00 pm CT (4:00 pm PT; 7:00 pm ET) via Zoom. There is no cost to attend.
