From the Editor. As summer approaches, and churches are making plans to host summer interns, we should be thinking about what makes for a good internship. For me this raises the larger question of officer training at every level. One of the greatest challenges to this important endeavor is the new phenomenon of so-called "distance education." While I risk sounding repetitive on this subject, what troubles me is that most Christians—I suspect most non-Christians, too—are entirely uncritical in their use of the Internet to promote such learning. Perhaps most of the advantages are obvious; those should not be denied. But when do we think of the disadvantages? This month I hope to begin the conversation. I covet your thoughts.

Please consult the subject index in the archives: 1992-2005 for more articles on "Ministerial Training," and "Officer Training."

Remember, throughout 2006 we will be posting a sampling of the best of past articles, while I recruit writers for new articles to be published beginning in 2007. At the end of 2007 we will be publishing all of the new articles in a single annual volume. I will be coordinating my editorials with the theme of each republished article. Look for new reviews of books and perhaps even cinema.

Blessings in the Lamb,
Gregory Edward Reynolds
