Volume 20

Volume 20, Issue 3, October 2007

Given our increasing concerns about climate change and human attitudes to nature, this issue of Pacifica is particularly relevant. It opens with a study by ANNE GARDNER on the interdependence of the Divine, the Human, and the Earth in the Book of Daniel; and it closes with an essay by JUDITH KELLER on the spirituality of the Australian Landscape as demonstrated in the art of Rosalie Gascoigne. Gardner's article can be downloaded, while the accompanying illustration, Earth 3, offers a glimpse of Gascoigne's art and spirituality.

Volume 20, Issue 1, February 2007

This issue of Pacifica carries the final contributions of Maryanne Confoy as Book Review Editor and Anne Elvey as Assistant Editor. Both have been associated with Pacifica for most of its twenty years and both have generously given a great deal to the journal. We are much indebted to them and we wish them every blessing and success for the future.
