2005年，当我第一次被任命为《基督教教育研究杂志》（JRCE）的编辑时，我对这份工作有很多不了解。该职位的技术细节相当容易掌握，这要归功于前任编辑林登（杰里）弗斯特（Lyndon（Jerry）Furst）的出色指导。但那时我也有很多不知道的事情。我不知道我会多么喜欢编辑的工作。我不知道我是多么喜欢帮助新兴学者获得他们的第一个同行评议的出版物。我不知道把一个我带来的问题握在手中会有多满足。我不知道我会多么幸运地在世界各地的会议和研讨会上遇到数百名基督教学者和基督教教育学者。我不知道我的职业网络将如何发展到包括数百个仅通过技术建立的“虚拟”联系人，也不知道当我最终在现实中遇到这些“虚拟”人时，我会感到多么高兴。不管我开始做JRCE编辑时做了什么或不知道什么，我的上帝提前知道我会遇到什么，无论是挑战还是祝福。我不禁相信，当我得知我被任命为编辑时，他在微笑，当他想到他在我担任编辑的事工中为我准备的喜悦时，他在微笑。七年后的今天，我不禁想知道他为我准备了什么新的惊喜。无论在我面前的是什么，我都热切地期待着未来的几年。我相信你会喜欢这期的内容。文章内容丰富，发人深省。其中包括一份关于基督教学校系统（Thayer & Kido）中学生学习成果的最大研究之一的调查结果报告;比较小学使命声明，这是跨国和跨国家的范围
In 2005 when I first was named editor of the Journal of Research on Christian Education (JRCE) there was much I didn’t know about the job. The technical details of the position were fairly easy to grasp, thanks to excellent mentoring by previous editor, Lyndon (Jerry) Furst. But there were plenty of other things I didn’t know at that time either. I didn’t know how much I would enjoy the work of editing. I didn’t know how much I enjoy helping emerging scholars get their first peer-reviewed publication. I didn’t know how satisfying it would be to hold an issue in my hands that I had brought into existence. I didn’t know how blessed I would be to meet hundreds of Christian scholars and scholars of Christian education at conferences and workshops around the world. I didn’t know how my professional network would grow to include hundreds of ‘‘virtual’’contacts made only via technology—or the joy I would feel when I finally met some of these ‘‘virtual’’persons in reality. Regardless of what I did or didn’t know when I started this job as JRCE editor, my God knew in advance what I would encounter, both in terms of challenges and blessings. I can’t help but believe He was smiling when I found out about my appointment as editor, smiling as He thought about the delights He had in store for me during my ministry as an editor. Now, after 7 years, I can’t help but wonder what new surprises He has in store for me. Whatever lies ahead of me, I look forward to the next several years with eager anticipation.I trust you will enjoy the contents of this issue. The articles are varied and thought provoking. They include a report of findings from one of the largest studies ever done of student learning outcomes in a Christian school system (Thayer & Kido); a comparison of elementary school mission statements that is both transnational and trans-denominational in its scope
