What's in a name? (or Why VOX?)

We spent several months talking about our 'new magazine' before we finally agreed a name. (Thanks to Shane Tucker for the idea).

We'd brainstormed ideas and searched through a list of suggestions without hitting on a single "aha" moment.

VOX (a Latin word meaning voice) was the first suggestion that made us sit up and take notice. We'd already considered (and quickly rejected) the idea of calling our magazine "The Voice". The concept seemed great, but...

Then came "VOX" and the longer we thought about it, the better it became.

It was an invitation from “Vox Hiberniae” (The voice of the Irish) that prompted Patrick to leave his homeland and spend the rest of his life in Ireland.

Strangely enough, in Patrick's dream, he never read that letter from the Irish people. I've always wished he had... just so I could find out what the letter contained.

If Patrick were reading a letter from the Irish people today, what would it say? Our hope and dream is for VOX to answer that question.

We want to provide a voice for people who want to grapple with issues of faith, life and reality in 21st Century Ireland.

Bring it on!
