The Cord
A Franciscan Spiritual Review
The Cord, a quarterly review which deals with topics having to do with the Franciscan spiritual tradition, celebrates fifty years of continuous publication in 2000. It offers articles of historical interest, as well as articles dealing with contemporary applications. Its primary purpose is to promote a deeper knowledge and more ardent love of the Franciscan way of life. It solicits articles which help readers appreciate better the Franciscan charism, its relevance in the contemporary Church, as well as some of the ways Franciscans are making a difference in today’s world. It restricts its material to Franciscan spirituality and to such matters as are of particular concern and interest to the English-speaking Franciscan family throughout the world.
The Cord periodically reviews books of interest to Franciscans. It also provides a feature called "On the Franciscan Circuit" to share information about Franciscan programs taking place throughout the country and English-speaking world. It publishes short poems and art work that deal with Franciscan themes.
The Cord provides advertising services for programs and materials that are of special interest to Franciscans. Cost: full page, $60.00; half page, $30.00. All ads should be sent to the Editor. (See address below.)
