II think you will enjoy the November issue. David Hopkins has some important stuff to say in Hopkins' Opus, and some of our usual suspects add their take on the culture and its impact on faith and ministry. David Hopkins stepped down as editor of Next-Wave last month. His contributions over the years have played an important part in making Next-Wave. I expect there will more to come from David in the future.  [Charlie Wear, publisher]
