Agora seeks to glorify God as an ecumenical forum and journal of Christian thought. By creating and curating pieces that reflect the vibrant beauty of God’s nature, we offer a collective Christian perspective to the campus dialogue.
agora (n): a gathering place, a market
In ancient Greece, an agora (ἀγορά) was a public open space used for assemblies and markets. By naming our journal after this historical artifact, we hope to realize a few of its qualities:
Agora’s logo depicts the letters “A” and “g” as symbols; these can be interpreted as both quotation marks and commas.
Like the Ancient Greek marketplace, Agora seeks to be a place of exchange. For us, this means the exchange of ideas, thoughts, and expressions regarding our faith; a dialogue. While we may write in pertinence to experiences from our own life, we ultimately seek to glorify God; His Word, through our words. Our logo depicted by quotation marks aims to convey these beliefs.
Whereas other punctuation marks may indicate the end of a sentence, a comma implies a continuation; Agora does not seek to be a publication that preaches ultimatums, but rather provides the start of an ongoing conversation with our audience.
