Publishing Update

Creative Thought is in Our Future!

Rev. David Goldberg, Publisher

After many months of prayer, meetings, telephone calls and surveys, a decision regarding Creative Thought magazine has been reached. The magazine will continue to be produced on a monthly basis just as it is now. The only change will be an adjustment in the cover and wholesale prices to cover the cost of producing and distributing the magazine internationally. The specific amounts are being determined and will be announced shortly. The ad hoc committee chaired by Dr. Maureen Hoyt, which was appointed by the Leadership Council, is grateful for the time, energy and feedback everyone offered during this important discussion.

In conjunction with this move, two additional decisions are being announced. Patrick Soran, RScP, who has been working as the Interim Editor of Creative Thought, has been appointed Editor and will continue to focus his time, energy and considerable talent on the magazine. As well, the Centers for Spiritual Living Publishing Team is developing a marketing campaign to increase the reach and distribution of Creative Thought magazine. This campaign will honor the 60th anniversary of Creative Thought in 2014 while celebrating its content, writers and bright future and will include print, electronic and social media elements. Stay tuned for more information!
