* The Editorial, "Speaking to the Heart," presents the biblical
image of Wilderness to express pains and spiritual possibilities in
the lives of those following the prophetic call on behalf of animals.
* Among the NewsNotes is an account of the remarkable hospice
ministry of a young cat named Oscar.
* Do you need some expensive fleas? Check out the Gems for a few
chuckles.
* The Film Review evaluates EVAN ALMIGHTY, starring Steve Carrell
and other animals. It is the tale of a new Noah and a threatened
catastrophe in Washington, D.C.
* The Recipe column in this issue offers some kitchen tips and
quickie recipes.
* "My PIlgrimage" features physician Steve Kaufman, co-author of
GOOD NEWS FOR ALL CREATION and chair of the Christian Vegetarian
Association.
* This issue's PIoneer is Donald Watson, the compassionate and far-
sighted Englishman who coined the word "vegan" and launched the
organized movement for a vegan lifestyle sixty-plus years ago.
* In the Poetry column we have a portion of T.S. Eliot's "Ash
Wednesday," which uses imagery of wilderness to express some of the
conflicting fears and hopes of a life in search of God.
As always, we welcome comments, suggestions, and contributions.
