I wasn't sure what to make of last issue's cover (9/29/2008). Is the pastor on the left or the right? The elderly Caucasian man on the left could fit two stereotypical images, that of a pastor or that of an average PC(USA) member. On the right we have what appears to be a non-Caucasian mother (apparently her daughter is by her side). It's hard to tell who is giving thanks and who is receiving thanks. Either way, the image either seems to be playing into sterotypes or trying to flip them around. I hope it's the latter, as a symbol for the changing face of the church.
