CrossCurrents connects the wisdom of the heart with the life of the mind and the experiences of the body. The journal is operated through its parent organization, the Association for Public Religion and Intellectual Life (APRIL), an interreligious network of academics, activists, artists, and community leaders seeking to engage the many ways religion meets the public. Contributions to the journal exist at the nexus of religion, education, the arts, and social justice. In the December 2 issue of CrossCurrents: "Border Crossings" by Charles P. Henderson "Milosz and Merton: Poets of Hidden Victories" by Christopher Pramuk "Witnessing and Re-Imagining through the Arts: Meditation on a Dialogical Project" by Bjorn Krondorfer "A Jewish Dialogue with Howard Thurman: Mysticism, Compassion, and Community" by Edward K.
