End of The Briefing?

“With some considerable wistfulness, we’ve come to the decision that the next issue of The Briefing (number 414) will have to be its last.

We’re sad about this, obviously, but not too sad – because although the medium of communication now has to change, the theology and vision of Christian life and ministry that The Briefing has always championed has not changed, and must not change. We have some exciting plans in motion to keep spreading and promoting and encouraging that Bible-based vision of Christian life and ministry – plans that take advantage of the very wave of digital publishing that has helped make the current form of The Briefing no longer viable.…”

– Sam Freney and Tony Payne write to explain what’s happening with Matthias Media’s flagship publication.
