Image & Reality

by Ken Myers

"The dearest freshness deep down things . . ."

In 2003, I talked with journalist Mark Oppenheimer about his book, Knocking on Heaven's Door: American Religion in the Age of Counterculture. That volume examined the changes to American religious life initiated by the cultural shifts of the late 1960s and early 1970s. "If someone were beamed forward in a time capsule from 1950 to today," Oppenheimer observed, "the most noticeable thing would just be that everyone dresses as if they just rolled out of bed."

Touchstone is a Christian journal, conservative in doctrine and eclectic in content, with editors and readers from each of the three great divisions of Christendom—Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox.

The mission of the journal and its publisher, The Fellowship of St. James, is to provide a place where Christians of various backgrounds can speak with one another on the basis of shared belief in the fundamental doctrines of the faith as revealed in Holy Scripture and summarized in the ancient creeds of the Church.

The Fellowship of St. James is a 501(c)(3) non-denominational, non-partisan, organization that receives no government funding. All gifts are tax-deductible.
