About this Issue:
Finding Meaning and Attaining Balance

If only I could tell you that the articles in this issue contained all the answers needed to find meaning and attain balance in your life. But such an issue would extend well beyond our 40 pages and might never be ready for publication, because the answers are different for each of us and the meaning and balance we seek may change on a daily basis. Are you in need of more time? More silence? A deeper relationship with God? With yourself? With others? Do you need to become more serious about what you believe? Or take a lighter approach to life?

Finding meaning and attaining balance is an ongoing quest, for which there is no set path. However, our hope is that the simple exploration of several paths that have led the writers in this issue to deeper meaning and a sense of balance in their own lives might somehow bring a semblance of the same to you.

Our model is Susan Abraham from the Office of the Director of Ecumenical Partnerships, Worldwide Ministries Division, PC(USA).

Our Purpose

Horizons is the magazine of Presbyterian Women. It is planned and designed for individuals and PW circles,newcomers and longtime participants in the organization. You'll notice resources are scattered throughout the magazine---in sidebars, boxes and sometimes entire articles---because Presbyterian Women is made up of leaders, both current leaders and women with leadership potential. Participants in Presbyterian Women are also active---in their congregation, community and world-so we work to include ways you can respond to what you read in Horizons.

The purpose of Horizons magazine is the same as the purpose of our publisher, Presbyterian Women:

--to nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study

--to support the mission of the church worldwide

--to work for justice and peace

--to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God's kingdom
