More about Eternity
Eternity is published to encourage and support Christians, for example by hearing of other people becoming Christians through testimonies – the most basic and ancient form of Christian communication. The paper will run news, ‘played with a straight bat’, in the tradition of the US
evangelical paper ChristianityToday, the gold standard of christian reporting. Through stories of missionaries overseas and church planting in ordinary Australian suburbs, even the smallest article can show the big picture of God at work locally and globally. A strand of social justice stories will alert readers’ consciences each month. In addition, critical engagement with culture will include Christians at work in the arts. The paper will run extracts of good new books, especially local ones. Eternity will be published as a “three quarter Tabloid” magazine (same page
size as Good Weekend, and some local papers). Eternity Serves a Wide Audience
• 12 million Australians state their religion as Christianity.
• 23 per cent of adult Australians participate in church or religious activities.
• 1.6 million Australians attend church each week. The monthly attendance is more than double.
Australian Christians has never had a mass media voice to report and represent news and views of interest to them. Until now.
