About this issue

Did you know that April 18–24 is national volunteer week in Canada?

Life’s “ineffable sadness” (as Jack Dueck puts it, page 11), grace, and thanksgiving intertwine in this month’s features.

This month’s Herald contains a variety of articles, news, views, and art we hope will become part of your spiritual refreshment this summer, whether at home or on holiday. There’s an ode to how God works in animation by Ken Priebe, a small and honest slice of life from Katie Funk Wiebe’s new memoir, lessons Dorothy Siebert learned about meddling, and more.
