Welcome to Transcendence Magazine!

I’m so glad you’ve joined us for the launch of the online journal we’re calling
Transcendence Magazine. The beginning of the third millennium has made evident that there is much to be discussed and much to be accomplished if we are going to create a sustainable future that will be a blessing to tomorrow’s
inhabitants of this sphere we call home.

The challenges before us are so great – in both scope and sheer quantity –
that we believe nothing short of transcendence will begin to address them. More than ever humankind is being called to transcend geopolitical concerns and unite in a world-wide collaboration to find solutions for comprehensive
healthcare, ecological renewal, global economy, issues of social justice, human rights, war and peace and an almost innumerable host of other issues that press in upon us.

In some areas, such as ecology, the damage already done is at the brink of being irreversible and at no other time in history have the realities of
addressing such problems been so pressing. In other areas, such as the way
we frame our sacred narratives and the stories that we most closely link with our identity, the present holds great potential for advancement toward global peace, reconciliation and unification.

Releasing quarterly, Transcendence Magazine will bring together some of the world’s top minds and opinion leaders to address an entire array of challenges faced by the world today. In this issue of Transcendence we are specifically focusing upon the theme of ‘Pathways to Peace’ to anticipate an upcoming conference of the same theme being held later this year in Amman Jordan.

Three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee Elias Chacour contributes from his perspective as a Palestinian Christian while theologian Dr. Stephen Sizer, a world renowned expert in the field of Zionism writes on ‘Justice in the Eyes
of Jesus.’

Dr. Ian Campbell will be bringing us a case study based upon his many years as a medical professional working toward the alleviation of AIDS/HIV disease in
impoverished countries. And finally, Dr. Jay Gary will present on the prospect of an Islamo-Christian culture.

Thank you again for joining us for our inaugural issue of Transcendence –
I hope you’ll return often!

Blessings,

Tim King
