"We have neither the Western Christendom of the past nor the secular, religionless soeciety that was predicted for the future. We have something else entirely." — Tim Keller

"For no one who who wholeheartedly shares in a given sensibility can analyze it. He can only, whatever his intention, exhibit it. To name a sensibility, to draw its contours and to recount its history, requires a deep sympathy modified by revulsion." — Susan Sontag

Patrol is an independent daily magazine where young writers explore their interactions with art, culture, politics, and religion. We're based in New York City, but you'll find our contributors and readers all across the globe. Patrol began in 2006 as a blog covering Christian and independent music in Washington, D.C. We relocated to New York in 2008, where we expanded our scope to include broad swaths of arts and politics.

Patrol comes to life amid the angst of being a believer in the modern world: the conflicts between faith and science, religion and politics, the church and the arts, humanity and technology. Those are huge topics with vast implications—implications we think it's important that Christian writers wrestle through, publicly and without reservation, for the good of both our own and the good of the culture we're a part of. But let's face it: there are few places in Christian media where a writer has complete freedom to follow his search wherever it leads. That's what we're about. Patrol aims to be a "salon" for young writers to work out their ideas and chronicle their encounters with culture. And we hope all kinds of people drop in on the conversation.
