Theta Alpha Journal

Theta Alpha Journal is a semi-annual magazine (normally published in April and October) devoted to the furtherance of New Church education. It is the official journal of Theta Alpha International, a women's organization open to members of the General Church.

The magazine typically includes articles on education, articles on life's lessons in the light of New Church doctrine, addresses and minutes from the Theta Alpha International annual meetings, poetry, book reviews, communications, and reports from Theta Alpha chapters around the world. The Theta Alpha Journal has a circulation between 900 and 1000 and helps stimulate the ongoing conversation about education within the walls of New Church educational institutions as well as education found along the path of life.
