According to Kevin Lai Yuk-Ching, executive secretary of the Diocesan Office for the Formation of the Laity, and coordinator of the small editorial board, which includes two priests, a nun and two laymen, «it is an important opportunity to make the faith and Catholic Church known to believers of other religions and nonbelievers.»

Ip Kai-Wing, editor in chief of the current-events and cultural magazine, is pleased with the initiative, which opens new editorial space that might attract the attention of new readers.
