Dear Readers:

As you know, the site has been struggling for several weeks now.

The basic problem was that the servers were struggling to handle the site’s traffic and the specific needs of our WordPress platform.

The entire site is being moved on Tuesday, November 10th, to a new host.

The same is also true for our sister publication, Homiletic & Pastoral Review. It will be moved to the new host at the same time.

The two sites will not be accessible from around 1:00 pm until about 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.

My sincere thanks to all of you for bearing with us while we decided how best to address the technical hurdles involved.

We look forward to the updates and to an improved experience for everyone on CWR and HPR!

Pax Christi,

Carl E. Olson
Editor, CWR
