Well, we hope to have something a little more technically advanced here at some point, but for now, here's a list of the upcoming issue titles and topics. If you have an article or artwork idea, please send an e-mail to Kirstin Vander Giessen-Reitsma, catapult's senior editor, with a brief description of the piece and the issue for which it is intended and we'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!

On Topic

From mild interest to obsession, certain topics claim a portion of our attention.  What draws us to certain subjects, as individuals and as communities?  In what ways do we respond to that draw?

Building in the Kingdom

Our houses are places where many of our deepest values become incarnate in wood and glass and brick and stone.  What does a house faithfully built look like?  What are our limitations?

Let's Get Together 6

Celebrating six years of publishing catapult magazine with our annual issue on the gift of community.

Family Planning

We call it “family planning,” even though much of what happens in starting and cultivating a family could rightly be called a surprise, pleasant or otherwise.  On the principles and experiences of such efforts.

Changing Minds

Ever held tenaciously to a belief that, over time, became less important to you, or even changed altogether?  That change may have been very public, very painful or hardly even noticed.  On the virtues, excesses and means of changing minds.

When I Grow Up

Some people know what they want to do with their lives at an early age and that desire never changes.  Others search their whole lives for vocation and identity.  Stories about the certainties, pressures, questions, opportunities, wisdom and mystery encountered on this path.

Color Positive

One might say, “There are two kinds of people in the world: those who don’t ever have to consider the color of their skin and those who must consider the color of their skin every day.”  Stories about the pursuit of an anti-racist society.
