Winter 2012 Better Together: Male | Female Relationships
It takes a team. It takes a village. It takes the collaboration of each person on the list to the right to puzzle together this magazine.
Our all-volunteer LWQ staff members, under the guidance of His Spirit, collectively plan, plot, and pray each issue into existence. We are thoroughly convinced we have the happiest job in the LWML.
The rest of the people in the column, the LWML Executive Committee and Business Administrator, pray daily that the Quarterly reach not only into the hearts of many LCMS women, but also that the magazine’s paper version or the new digital option will find its way into hands and homes beyond its current subscribers.
These leaders promote the LWQ widely in their congregations and among their friends; they faithfully complete the Bible studies with their LWML groups; and they submit articles and offer suggestions for writers and themes.
But a distinctive aspect of the publication of this magazine is the working relationship that exists between the Editor-in-Chief and the “guys” listed there.
The responsibility of the LWML Counselor assigned to the LWQ staff is to complete the initial doctrinal review for each issue before sending it on to the Synod reviewer for final approval; doing so ensures our readers that the contents of each Quarterly align with the teachings of the LCMS.
The LWML Counselor and I are “hitched” for a span of two years, meaning that we produce eight LWQ issues together. Over the course of time, I have had the opportunity to work alongside some of the finest theologians and most gracious teachers I have ever met. I have treasured our partnership for the Gospel, which is marked by their generous time commitment, good-humored patience, and a willingness to go the distance.
It doesn’t get any “better together” than having had these brothers in Christ as my colleagues: the Revs. Gnewuch, Mattil, Whitby, and Heckmann — Carl, Mike, Kris, and John.
All to His glory,
Nancy Graf Peters
