Wayfare is pleased to announce our Fall 2026 issue — Celebrate Advent: A Christmas Companion. Building on our longstanding tradition of sharing essays, poetry, artwork and more exploring the traditional Advent themes of hope, peace, joy, and love, this special issue invites you to slow down and experience a more meaningful holiday season by embracing this ancient liturgical tradition, whatever that looks like for you in this season of life.
