eye-dentity

So it has come to this! Eye pushed to almost the back of the magazine!

But we will not complain, as it is for a very good cause. Our page 12 slot is needed to expand the Arts section and bring more spiritual content into the magazine. We can hear some of you scoffing at this - aren't the arts leisure activities? Didn't our recent reader survey clearly show a lack of interest in coverage of such subjects? Well, here at Eye we have cherry-picked a sentence or two from something George Gorman said in 1982 (QF&P 1995 10.20): 'If we are sensitive, we find that everything that happens to us, good or bad, can help us to build a vision of the meaning of life. We can be helped to be sensitive by reading the Bible and be open to experience of nature, music, books, painting, sport or whatever our particular interest may be. It is in and through all things that we hear God speaking to us.'
Eye looks forward to seeing the spirit emerge in human artistic endeavour reported in our new section.

Q-eye has moved to page 16 of the paper edition of the Friend.
