The new editors and the board are dedicated more than ever to the mission of the magazine. A major problem for the Reformed community at the beginning of the twenty-first century is fragmentation. Divisions undermine both its witness and its ability to pass on its heritage. Perspectives hopes to help the church overcome these divisions and to promote the celebration of the Reformed tradition. The spirit is high on the board as its members learn from each other and experience the benefits of cooperation.
Perspectives also tries to reach as wide an audience as possible.
The board wants to connect scholars, pastors, and lay people in a Reformed conversation. This type of theological reflection reaches a wide audience without any loss of theological profundity. The challenges remain. Perspectives is a volunteer organization. While the staff produces ten issues a year very efficiently, it does not have the infrastructure to do the extra things it needs to promote the magazine.
