The editors of Rock and Sling believe that all creative work is an act of faith. In keeping with the original vision of Rock and Sling, they wish to continue to be a hallmark of quality writing, embracing broad differences in experience - spiritual, cultural or political. It is their desire to be a forum for writers and artists engaged explicitly or obliquely with the problems, triumphs, heart breaks, ecstasies of faith, and the complicated joys in life. They hope to serve as a forum for an open and vigorous intellectual and artistic discussion, and a meeting place between those elements of our world that oftentimes oppose one another.
Rock and Sling seeks the highest quality work which embraces, wrestles with, argues with, celebrates and brushes against our ideas of faith, whether it is on the cultural or spiritual level. The journal's founders stated, "an accepted Rock and Sling submission may not even make explicit reference to Christianity, but it will maintain a universal spiritual curiosity." Above all, they desire work which seeks beauty and excellence, in form and in meaning, and explores the boundaries of what we know to be true.
Thom Caraway of Whitworth University is the Editor-in-chief of Rock and Sling.
