Walker, John Carter, Louis Sargent, Alfred Nicholls, Michael Ashton and presently Andrew Bramhill.
Content
The magazine contains a wide variety of articles, including exhortations from Breaking of Bread services, studies of Biblical characters, articles on Christian living, reviews of Bible related books/DVDs/etc., and comment on relevant current events in relation to Bible prophecy. Items for publication are produced by potentially any Christadelphian, pending the editorial process.
