From editorial director of news Kate Shellnutt: My friends know I have a particular pet peeve around daylight saving time, which kicked off this week. And even though I’m a proud night owl, it’s not what you think.
Daylight saving time is a bit of a nightmare for an editor’s brain. In all the places in the US that spring forward, our time designations are now in daylight time: Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), Central Daylight Time (CDT), and so on, rather than being in standard time. If I see an event scheduled for standard time, it’s almost always the case that the person didn’t know or care about the designation and meant daylight time.
But daylight time isn’t observed everywhere. Our colleague Morgan Lee, out in Honolulu, remains in Hawaii Standard Time. And many countries around the world don’t do daylight saving time or schedule it the same as we do. So when we’re scheduling meetings across time zones, what if the standard designation is deliberate? It feels so nitpicky to ask—but I always notice when it’s wrong. (And don’t get me started about how we’re in daylight time for the majority of the year, but it’s the other season that gets designated as "standard.") |

March 14, 1872: Journalist Henry Stanley and explorer-missionary David Livingstone part company, having spent the last five months in Africa together. Stanley returned to England to write his bestseller, How I Found Livingstone. Livingstone, in the meantime, got lost again—in a swamp literally up to his neck. Within a year and a half, he died in a mud hut, kneeling beside his cot in prayer. |

Even amid scandals, cultural shifts, and declining institutional trust, we at Christianity Today recognize the beauty of Christ’s church. In this issue, you’ll read of the various biblical metaphors for the church, and of the faithfulness of Japanese pastors. You’ll hear how one British podcaster is rethinking apologetics, and Collin Hansen’s hope for evangelical institutions two years after Tim Keller’s death. You’ll be reminded of the power of the Resurrection, and how the church is both more fragile and much stronger than we think from editor in chief Russell Moore. This Lent and Easter season, may you take great courage in Jesus’ words in Matthew 16:18—"I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." |
