Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
MISSION STATEMENT — The BeZine is not publishing new issues at this time. The BeZine’s mission was to foster proximity and understanding through our shared love of the arts and humanities and all things spirited and to make—however modest—a contribution toward personal healing and deference for the diverse ways people try to make moral, spiritual and intellectual sense of a world in which illness, violence, despair, loneliness and death are as prevalent as compassion, hope, friendship, reason and birth. The BeZine’s foundations were sacred space (common ground) and social activism, as expressed through the arts. The BeZine focused on four themes after a few years— Growing SustainABILITY Creating Peace Building Social Justice Living Activism and Spirit and two additonal sections— Best Practices related to our foundations and themes BeATTITUDES — work that fit the mission and values of The BeZine but either was not directly related to a specific focus-theme or was related to more than one theme. —from a range of affirming perspectives expressed respectfully primarily through literature—poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction; the arts—music, visual art, videos, photography; and occasional articles, interviews, or reviews.
