A Changing of the Pen: Dialogue’s Editorial Transition

In this special episode of Dialogue Out Loud, Dialogue editor Taylor Petrey sits down for a thoughtful conversation with the incoming co-editors of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Caroline Kline and Margaret Olsen Hemming. Together, they reflect on the past six years of Taylor’s editorship—what he set out to do, what surprised him along the way, and what he hopes his legacy will be.

Caroline and Margaret share their vision for Dialogue’s future, their editorial priorities, and the questions they’re excited to explore. From publishing fresh voices to deepening the journal’s engagement with global Mormonism and the arts, they outline the collaborative, curious, and inclusive spirit they hope to carry forward.

This episode marks a passing of the pen—but also a celebration of Dialogue’s enduring mission: to host vibrant, diverse conversations at the intersection of faith, scholarship, and lived experience.
