Ode to Marty's MEMO

I've been a long time Christian Century reader, and through these many years I have often turned first to Martin Marty's inside-the-back-cover column. Of course, he started writing this column long before I became a subscriber -- indeed, Marty has been with the Century longer than I've been alive.
So, it's with great sadness to read that with this most recent issue -- the one that arrived in my mail box yesterday (and not the one that is currently linked on the website) -- the column comes to an end. I know that they will bring together valuable and important columns to "replace" it, but it won't have the same wit and energy that MEMO has had.
Now, Marty will still be writing for the Century, just not in the same place or likely as often. Times are a changin' as I tell my congregation, and this is as true with a journal as it is with the rest of life.
So, thank you Martin Marty for being such a blessing to so many!
