ABOUT OUR COVER
This issue's cover photo is a composite. The carrier H.M.S.
lnvincíble
was photo–
graphed by Stuart Franklin- Sygma. But the weather refused to provide the proper
background. We enhanced the photo of the carrier with a sunset photo taken by
one of our staff photographers.
The Plaín Truth is
published monthly (except combined June /
July and October/ November issues) by the Worldwide Church
of God, Pasadena, California 91123.
