It began in June 1970 when I interned with The Boston Globe, and continued in Oregon, Texas, New York, North Carolina, and Texas again. Along the way, I’ve written freelance articles for 450 publications and was editor in chief of two: World (1994–2021) and Christianity Today (2025–2026). Read more.
