The Parish Magazine is considered by many to be the window of the Church. This, in my view can easily be extended to the window of the whole parish and as such puts a great deal of responsibility on the shoulders of all Parish/Church magazine editors.

 

I’ve been an editor for over fifteen years, and I, like a good many editors regularly worry that some item won’t arrive in time and as has happened so many times, I’ll end up scouring the Internet looking for suitable material to fill those missing pages (praying that I’m not contravening copyright).

 

This site with your help can hopefully put an end to this.  If we all share our resources we will certainly at least halve our problems and this is the place to do just that. What’s more, apart from a few minutes of your time the resources are entirely free.

 

I have heard it said, ‘We have a good team to put our magazine together and don’t need help’.  If this is the case, then you are the right sort of person to help others. There is one editor that I know of who not only has the job of finding articles to go in his magazine, he also has the job of printing, collating and delivering.
