History

Content

The magazine contains a wide variety of articles, including exhortations from Breaking of Bread services, studies of Biblical characters, articles on Christian living, reviews of Bible related books/DVDs/etc., and comment on relevant current events in relation to Bible prophecy. Items for publication are produced by potentially any Christadelphian, pending the editorial process. At the back of the magazine is a section in which is printed news from each ecclesia including baptisms, deaths and ecclesial events.

Publisher

The publisher of the magazine is The Christadelphian Magazine and Publishing Association (CMPA). All members of the committee are active members of Christadelphian congregations in the UK subscribing to the Birmingham Amended Statement of Faith (BASF). Subscriptions and previews of the magazine are available on "The Christadelphian" website.
