Electronic submissions are preferred and can be emailed to editor@MirthAndReverence.com. If at all possible, please submit electronic submissions in either Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format (rtf). Please include any available photographs or other images that can be published with the submitted article. Hard copy manuscripts can be mailed to the following address and should include a SASE.
