Editor’s Note

Pippin: I didn’t think it would end this way.

Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn’t end here.

– From Return of the King, the movie

Virtue Magazine started up nearly two years ago, the result of hard work and planning from students who met when taking Dr. Michael Farris’ online Constitutional Law class.

More than 47 issues, 430 articles and 1,470 comments later, Virtue Magazine is being closed down. But this final issue of Virtue isn’t the end; rather, it’s just a beginning.

Members of Virtue and Civilized Revolt have decided it would be better to concentrate on one publication, and that publication is Civilized Revolt. After a sabbatical to revamp the Civilized Revolt website and make other changes and additions for readers, we will continue to publish that publication on a bi-weekly basis.

We have seen a lot of staff members come and go in two years, but our support for the principles of conservatism and our resolve to put out a quality product are unwavering. We look forward to launching a new and improved Civilized Revolt early in 2007!

In the meantime, all of us at Virtue Magazine and Civilized Revolt wish you a joyous Christmas season and a happy new year.

    I’m sad to see it go. But I look forward to an improved Civilized Revolt.

    I am looking for an article called “Effective Sunday School Teaching” by Lynne Cox in the Equipped for Ministry section of the July/Aug 1986 issue of Virtue. Is this the correct place to find it?

    I’m not an editor, but I can tell you that this is not the magazine you’re looking for. We have only been in operation since either late 2004 or early ‘05 (the exact time escapes me), so the article you are searching for would be elsewhere. Thanks for inquiring.

    Hi there,
    Checked to see if some back issues of Virtue was available and imagine my surprise to find this!! We published Virtue Magazine for nearly 15 years, from Sisters, Oregon..eventually bought by Christianity Today Inc., rolled into Today’s Christian Woman. FYI!

    It was a great ride..but I think the demographic you’re after is not the same. Best of everything, anyhow.
