Special Issues: Where is Men's Work Going?
An invitation to dialog about the future direction of the Men's Movement
In March and April, 1995 we published two Special Issues on Where is Men's Work
Going? We had recently interviewed Shepherd Bliss, one of the early men in Men's Work. He raised
questions about the future direction of Men's Work. I had raised similar questions in
my editorial in the December issue. (see Editorial)
Similar concerns were raised at the 4th Annual Wingspan Men's Leaders Conference in
November. Andre Heuer, who has been active in bringing Men's Work into prisons and who
has written for us, is spearheading a team of five or seven men around the country
who bring interesting perspectives to this theme.
We invite you to read these articles, discuss them in your men's group or
local gathering of men, and to respond with a letter to the editor or an
article. Responses will be published in our hardcopy magazine and on this
magark, in order to keep the discussion going. You can reach the editor
at berthoff@comcast.net
