The March issue's theme is "Where Do We Go From Here?," the second part of a study into the possible meaning and significance of connecting Israel's wilderness experience to the modern era.
"In the first portion, which appeared in the October 1998 issue of Cornerstone, a certain groundwork was laid," said Mr. Rector.
