Magazine Audience

The Christian Leader is a monthly publication for Mennonite Brethren in the United States that serves as a resource for connecting the U.S. Mennonite Brethren family, celebrating our Lord Jesus Christ and cultivating us as his disciples. The magazine seeks to inform the members and congregations of U.S. Mennonite Brethren congregations of the events, activities, decisions and issues of their denomination and to instruct, inspire and initiate dialogue so members will aspire to be faithful disciples of Christ as understood in the evangelical/Anabaptist theological tradition.

 

Writer’s Guidelines

We give preference to those writers who are from Mennonite Brethren congregations in the U.S. and Canada. We also publish articles by writers from within the Anabaptist and Mennonite family of denominations. We publish a limited number of articles by writers with no connection to the evangelical Anabaptist community. We publish very few poems and fiction stories. The Feature Department is developed around a monthly theme.

 
We prefer that writers contact the editor prior to submission with a proposal for the article. The article should be written in a “conversational” tone, and we encourage writers to base their ideas on Scripture and biblical principles. Articles written from an evangelical-Anabaptist perspective are welcome. The length of articles we publish usually ranges from 1200 – 1800 words.

We pay upon publication. We generally buy “first-time rights” of the original manuscripts, whether the article has been assigned or comes to us unsolicited. Pieces published in our print publication may also be posted online.

 
The Christian Leader is a member of the Evangelical Press Association and follows the EPA professional code of ethics, including its writer's guidelines.
