Editorial statements by Roger Weaver, Paul Van Meffe and Joseph Ohmann-Krause open the journal, along with a preface by William F. Schulz, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA. The issue features poems by Gerard Bocholier (France) Kanyadi Sandor (Hungary), Gabor Shein (Hungary), Constantine Traian Preda (Romania), Kareem Al-Darahi (Iraq), and drawings by Kay Ruane (USA).

Saint Athanasius (Patriarch of Alexandria)

An Encomium on Saint Anthony by John of Schmun A letter to the Disciples of Antony by Serapion of Thmuis Instrumental in the conversion of many, including St. Augustine, The Life of Antony provided the model saint's life and constitutes, in the words of patristics scholar Johannes Quasten, 'the most important document of early monasticism.' Here is one volume are translations of the text in the Greek written by Athanasius (from the new critical edition of G. J. M. Bartelink) and in the Coptic, the language Antony himself spoke. Two short contemporary coptic texts further manifest the powerful influence of 'the father of monks.'
