Festival Quarterly (Periodical)
Festival Quarterly usually as a 40 page highly illustrated quarterly magazine on glossy paper of size: 21.5x28 cm. (8.5x11 in.). First published in the spring of 1974 by Dutch Family Festival, Scottdale, Pennsylvania. Its publisher changed to Good Enterprises, Ltd., Intercourse Pennsylvania with issue vol. 3, no.3 (Nov. 1976-Jan. 1977) and ceased publication with volume 23, number 1, winter 1996. Phyllis Pellman Good was the editor and her husband Merle Good the publisher. Its masthead gives this as its purpose: “The Quarterly is dedicated to exploring the culture, faith and arts of various Mennonite groups worldwide, believing that faith and the arts are as inseparable as what we believe is inseparable from how we live.” An annual subscription in 1996 was US$14.00.
The issues contain many personal stories by worldwide Mennonite artists, writers, performers, academics, and on many contemporary faith issues, international concerns and creative endeavours. Mennonite book reviews, publishing notes, brief ratings of commercial films and many advertisements from Mennonites publisher, colleges, craft and performance organizations also filled its pages. In the Fall 1994 it issued a “Special Issue Video Guide 1974-1994” by Merle Good which provided his ratings and evaluations of more than 1,500 commercial international films of the two decades 1974-1994.
