Greetings...
We are progressively headed towards the end of another year.
he news continues to be full of stories pertaining to
politics, war, racism/race relations, crime, drugs, mental health issues, and most recently, Hurricane Harvey and the damage it has caused to Houston and other parts of Texas and some parts of Louisiana all while bracing for Hurricane Irma. I must admit that all of this can be a bit overwhelming and stressful to hear about and witness. America, America, America…we have many issues to face and fix! As we look around the media, outside our front doors for that matter, we are constantly reminded that there is an issue within the borders of this country that continues to lead to division, outrage, and questions surrounding ethics and morals. So men…we have a responsibility to work towards creating some calmness within the many storms, literal and figurative, that this country currently faces. With MOF we seek to talk about these hot topics even when many appear to ignore or turn their backs in attempts to not have to address them. The mindset appears to be if I ignore, maybe…just maybe…it all will go away. We, at MOF, aim to address any elephants in the room, whether it is popular among the people or not. Our feature for this issue is Brother Rory Sharif, author and playwright. Each month we strive to feature an influential individual from the community that reflects our values and goals in the community. We will learn about this talented writer and get to know what he is up to as he continues to make moves in the literary and playwright worlds.
Our mission at MOF…is to address an array of topics that men not only want to hear about but also need to hear about. The well-versed contributors of Men of Faith Magazine all write with the goal to educate, uplift, motivate, and inspire. As men of faith we all must do our part in order to make this country a better place. We write with the understanding that men need to be able to do more in order to help rectify the issues that continue to plague our communities. We strive to feed the mind and soul of men while encouraging all men to do their part in supporting the brotherhood of men. We hope that you enjoy this issue!
Much Love!
