Hot off the server: The latest issue of WORLD
Add WORLD to your summer reading list, and the July 26 issue would be a great place to start. It’s available this morning online and through our RSS feed.
In the cover story, WORLD’s Mark Bergin reports on how multi-site churches are growing, spreading across cultures, and redefining the concept of gathered worship, for better and for worse. From high-tech to low-frills, unanswered questions and unproven strategies of NextGen churches have yet to slow the mania.
With its ongoing Campaign 2008 coverage, WORLD is the ideal election season companion for the informed Christian. If you are not a subscriber, we’d love to have you join our family of readers and not miss out on all WORLD has to offer, especially as we head toward the conventions and the all-important general election in November. Click here for more info. Subscriptions make great gifts, too!

Did they use my photo of WORLD in Mailbag?
(I submitted two from Mexico.)
I don’t get the print version of WORLD as a subscriber but as the son of a subscriber, so it will be a while before I can check for myself.

Mark: It’s not in this issue … but keep looking.
And don’t wait to read a second-hand copy of WORLD. Subscribe for yourself! Or tell your son how much you’d enjoy a gift sub.
Our four free issues deal is a pretty good one to get you started.

I keep checking for the same thing, Mark–I sent two from China!
So Mailbag is the first section we turn to when the magazine comes through the door!
(Note: I’m really more attractive than the photo suggests–if it ever appears!)

Thanks for the info, Mickey. And thanks for the Tell Your Son idea. I have two sons; which should I ask?
Ah, Michelle — I guess your submissions doom mine. Not only is China further away and more mysterious/threatening, I’m really less attractive than the photo suggests.

We laughed last month–the photo was of a woman in a burkha, allegedly on the roof of her home in Afghanistan.
Mao and I don’t cut it against competition like that.

What Mark and Michelle are talking about is a new feature in the Mailbag section of the print edition of WORLD, where we publish photos sent in from readers showing them or someone they know reading WORLD in a unique location.
To submit your photo, send it to mailbag@worldmag.com.

And Mark: One of your sons can give the subscription to you this year and the other one can renew it next year.

Mickey, am I correct in remembering that WORLD considers animals to fall in the someone category?
And thanks for the suggestion regarding WORLD and my sons. Please note, though, that the son referenced in my first comment is I. So, if I were to get my subscription to WORLD, what would happen to my Dad’s used copies?
Thus, efficiency notwithstanding, I’ll continue to take his discards.

Sorry, Mark. I misread your initial comment. Maybe your dad can give you a gift subscription.
Animals … hmmm … it’ll be up to the judges.

Mickey,
We have a cute pic of our cat reading the ARP (open to the Synod 2008 page, no less!)
For the rest of you, that’s our denomination’s monthly magazine–she’s reading the page that summarizes this year’s agenda for the elders at our June meeting.

Cameron: You and TJ better work on your cat’s reading habits!

Haven’t caught her reading World yet, sorry!

Hey Mickey, here’s the photo of our ARP Magazine-reading cat:

A little bit of photo shop and I could probably turn that into World…

The idea of sending in photos of people reading World Magazine from unusual or far flung places has long been done by Q Music Magazine. None-the-less, it’s still pretty cool.
But then, unbeknownst to me when I submitted the suggestion, “Rants & Raves” is the name of a feature in The Advocate, a newsweekly gay magazine. How ironic is that?
