A handful of years ago, Victoria and David Marshall started 3rd Act Magazine to chronicle how older Americans are blooming. It was borne out of the Marshalls’ own experience: After retiring early, Ms. Marshall, especially, found she needed a sense of purpose.

We’ve collected some of our favourite audiovisual works from a year in which creativity was made more difficult, and more vital, than ever.

the wagons. franklin graham, tony perkins speaking out in defense of the magazine and denouncing the magazine. mark, you ve had one heck of a day. we spoke this morning. i had the pleasure of reading the president s first attack. there s been many more as the day has gone on. what do you make of his response and the reaction? well i m just trying to do my part so he doesn t talk about the failed cnn network. i hope you ll appreciate my work here. seriously why do you think you got under his skin so much? well, i think because he imagines that ct magazine is attempting to speak for all evangelicals. one of the things he s mistaken about is what ct magazine is and who it s read by. for example, it is not a leftist magazine by any stretch. it s a center magazine, center
slanders is a perfect example of a human being lost and confused. if on cue, the president responded. a far left magazine, very progressive that some would call it has been doing poorly and involved with a billy graham family for years. christianity today knows nothing about reading a perfect transcript and would have a rather left nonbeliever who want ps to take your religion and your guns than donald trump as your president. no president has done more for the evangelical community. he ll not get anything from those demo on stage. i won t be reading e.t. again. he apparently meant ct, but hey, he was rolling. this afternoon he picked up with this. i guess the magazine is looking for elizabeth warren, bernie sanders or those of the socialist to guard their religion. how about sleepily joe. no president has done what i have done for evangelicals or religion itself. big name leaders are circling
