JAC #50 Online

Editorial Introduction
by Captain Stephen Court

Birthday Greetings in Jesus' name! JAC@50! Who knew?

We praise God for JAC. What a joy it was to pull together the JAC@50 issue. Here were the ground rules:

Suggestions were welcomed from the blogosphere and the result is a wide selection of representative articles from issues 11-40 as well as a few fresh ones for 50. We gave you a taste of the JAC archives in issue 49 with highlights from issues 1-10. And we figured issues 41-49 are too fresh in people's minds to reproduce here.

In the tradition of provocation a couple of editorial creations slipped in, starting with The King's Gifts and the Emperor's Clothes (issue 11) and ending with the Unofficial Sacramental Position of the JAC Editorial Board (issue 40).

But the meat of the issue goes a bit like this:
Commissioner Harris, out most consistent contributor, offered Change and Challenge back in issue 12. Captain Matt Clifton had a piece in issue 14 called In Darkest Ambiguity and the Way Out. Then Captain Richard Munn wrote the first of a few articles on women in leadership back in issue 16. 17 was our dream issue and Captain Doug Hammond's dream is one I hope that everyone reads. You won't regret it.

Captain Stephen Poxon was a great contributor in the early days and representative of his articles is Pilgrim's Progress, from issue 18. General Eva Burrows asks Why Help The Poor in issue 21.

Issue 22 was highlighted by John Cleary's Chosen To Be a Soldier.

Representative of the Feature Forum format, find here issue 26's Five Books that Shaped My Life. And representative of a whole slew of JAC-exclusive interviews is one with Major Friday Ayanam from issue 32.

Lieutenant Rowan Castle declared his Warfare Manifesto in the pages of issue 36. Major Harold Hill blessed us with an introduction to his now-released book called Leadership In The Salvation Army in issue 37. Major Geoff Ryan's Miller Lecture, The Salvation Army as a Prophetic Movement? is reproduced from issue 39.

And JAC@50 has a few fresh articles as well! Newly minted Captain Pamela Maynor gave the Valedictory Address for the Heards of the Good News in USA Eastern Territory. Lieuetenant Steven Bussey has a research piece called Me, MySpace, and iPod: tales of culture. And Graeme Smith contributes Parade Ground Army.

Now, you can access all of the articles from all of the issues, but it is great to celebrate the treasure that JAC has become. Enjoy. Consider. And use the contents to help you fight win the world for Jesus.

God bless The Salvation Army.
The Editors
