Happy Easter to you all! Since the last issue was published in September of 2015, the head editor of A&H has welcomed an addition to her family, requiring she take some personal time off from working on the magazine. Colleen, the Design Editor, was kind enough to step in and bring you another issue of Altar and Hearth, but with her spin and slant on it. We think you’ll find much food for thought in this issue. Thanks to Colleen for taking point on this. (ISSUE 4 FOLLOWS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST!)

A bit of housekeeping regarding the publication of the magazine: This is a biannual magazine, published twice a year, but we are excited to announce that from here on out issues will be Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter rather than Winter/Spring and Summer/Fall. We would love to be able to offer the magazine more frequently, however, with such limited staff, resources, and the needs of our respective families and duties, this is as much as we can handle.

If you or any of your acquaintances are interested in helping bring Altar and Hearth to the world, we welcome your contributions. To help, please email altarandheartheditors at gmail dot com with your name, contact info, and somewhat about how you would like to contribute (if by writing, expound on the topic, the angle, etc. if with photography, please send demos of your work or a link to your portfolio, etc.)

It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here! To read Issue 4 of Altar and Hearth Magazine, click on the cover below. We welcome your commentary and opinions!
