Statement of Purpose/Bilingual Policy Just Good Company is a new magazine in cyberspace, produced by the West Coast Compañeros Inc, a group of former U.S. Jesuits mainly from the California and Oregon Provinces. It's a periodic journal of religion and culture, intended to promote a dialogue with the world we live in. It is more catholic than Catholic and it will certainly not be a journal of advocacy for the hierarchical Church. Rather it aspires to being an intelligent forum that will draw the attention of thoughtful people everywhere and appeal, ultimately, to all men and women of good will. Just Good Company hopes to be a prophetic voice in the world. It intends to be both catholic (with a small "c") and independent, with no official status, and a continuing forum of ideas for anyone and everyone determined to have life and have it more abundantly. Serious consideration is being given to having a Spanish Edition, containing articles written out of Latin America and Spain. JGC wishes to be a truly international magazine, not merely an Anglo-American magazine translated into Spanish. For that, it hopes to have the collaboration of translators whose native language is Spanish. Declaración del Propósito/Política Bilingüe Just Good Company es una nueva revista electrónica, creada por West Coast Compañeros, Inc., un grupo de ex-jesuitas de los Estados Unidos, más que todo de las provincias de California y Oregon. Es una publicación periódica de religión y cultura que pretende promover un diálogo con el mundo en que vivimos. Es católica no solo en relación con la iglesia católica, sino en el sentido universal, y no será una publicación que aboga por la jerarquía de la iglesia católica. Aspira a ser un foro inteligente que atraerá la atención de las personas pensativas en todas partes, y, ultimamente de todas las personas de buena voluntad. Es un foro de ideas para todos los que desean tener la vida, y tenerla en abundancia. Just Good Company espera ser una voz profétíca en el mundo. Piensa ser católica (universal) e independiente, sin estatus oficial. Se está considerando producir una edición en español, la cual tendría varios artículos que vienen desde Latinoamérica y España. Para lograr esto, espera contar con la colaboración de traductores cuyo idioma nativo es el español.
