The Lamp

Among the many projects undertaken by the Institute for Human Ecology is assistance with the publication of The Lamp, a new bimonthly lay-edited Catholic magazine founded by Matthew Walther and William Borman. The Lamp seeks with reporting, incisive commentary, and coverage of books and the arts to bring the mind of the Church and a generous, urbane spirit to bear on the questions of modern life.
