Wayfare seeks to be a companion and guide on the journey of faith, publishing a range of original writing: essays, interviews, dispatches, profiles, poetry, miracles, sermons, and works of book, film, and art criticism.
Although I haven't yet read every piece in this (first) issue of Wayfare, I have read a lot of it, and I am enjoying it.
Sometimes I struggle to find faith-positive writing that is still rigorous, deep, and interesting, but I have been encouraged recently by Wayfare. The essays are smart and in touch with the realities of believers. There is hope even while addressing real problems that the faithful face. The essays are mostly written to resonate with members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but I think that those of other faiths, especially other Christian faiths, could also find value in many of them.
Some of my favorite essays so far include Joseph Spencer's "Faith in the 21st Century," which discusses how belief has changed since the '90s, and Bill Turnbull's, "Turn Sideways into the Light," an insightful critique of apologetics.
And of course, I love my own essay, "The End of Tragedy," in which I discuss two of my favorite topics: Fairy Tales and Jesus Christ.
