Contribute to Faith, our forthcoming Spring 2026 issue.

“Faith is the essential virtue of science,” according to Alan W. Watts. “Faith has no preconceptions; it is a plunge into the unknown. Belief clings, but faith lets go”. We want to see what happens when all experience and preconceived consequence is doubted, when there is nothing left but an unexplained pull from within, from bona fide trust. Whatever that trust means to you, whatever your process is in finding it, show it and be authentic to its purity.
