The magazine for the Catholic Diocese of Ferns has been revamped and relaunched as the Forum "to give the product a new look, a different style, and a more up-to-date image", writes Patsy McGarry.

Its editor, Father John Carroll, of St Aidan's Cathedral, Enniscorthy, also said the changes were made necessary by "the need to find better ways of expressing ourselves as a church." The Forum, previously called the Bulletin, sees no role for itself in "the propagation or popularisation of doom and gloom", he said.
