WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY - 11AM-Noon

Understanding The Beginning of The Church
flyer

“From its very beginning, the Christian message was grafted onto human history.  The good news Christians proclaim is that in Jesus Christ, and for our salvation, God entered human history in a unique way.  History is crucial for understanding not only the life of Jesus, but the entire biblical message.” Justo L. González, "The Story of Christianity"

We will travel through the cultures, political and social realities of the first two centuries — during which the “New Testament” was produced. We will learn the distinctive character of the Christians, discover their growth and be challenged by their context...we will get a taste of the Bible’s back story.

This is the path through time we will follow :

January 8 - Introduction and Overview
January 15 - The Fullness of Time for Jesus’ coming
January 22 - The Church in Jerusalem
January 29 - The Mission to the Gentiles
February 5 - First Conflicts with the State
February 12 - Persecution in the 2nd Century
February 19 - The Defense of the Faith
February 26 - The Deposit of Faith: Creeds & more

Mission Co-worker Visit - Leisa Wagstaff

Serving with the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan (has served in South Sudan, since 2013) in education and trauma-healing, Leisa Wagstaff will be visiting the Presbytery of Santa Fe, February 21-24.  She will be at the Presbytery meeting on Sat., Feb. 22, and at FPC Santa Fe on Sunday morning, Feb. 23.

If your congregation would like to host her for an event on Friday, Saturday, Sunday afternoon/evening, or Monday, please contact Judy Crawford of FPC Santa Fe: judyjoancrawford@gmail.com

Leisa, a mission co-worker since 1984, says her call to mission “is still afresh and as strong as ever.”  After working in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho and Zimbabwe, she began teaching at the Presbyterian Teacher Training College in Cameroon in 2004.  She also served at a related secondary school.  Leisa has written and evaluated curriculum, developed a school and community computer program, lectured at the seminary level and coached a gymnastics team.  Leisa has been serving in South Sudan since 2013.  “More importantly, I have served as your representative, your mission co-worker, and the embodiment of your desire to share the good news of Jesus Christ in every corner of the earth,” she says.

​Pastors Ary Alban and Beidy Aragon of our partner church in Cuba, the Central Reformed Presbyterian Church, Matanzas, Cuba, will be visiting Albuquerque March 3-19, 2020.

Second's Mission Committee will be part of scheduling them.

Doctrine of Discovery Resource List

The Coordinating Team of the Presbytery of Santa Fe has tasked the Mission Networking Committee (MNC) with helping the Presbytery continue the conversation about the Doctrine of Discovery (also known as the Doctrine of Christian Domination) that was begun at the October 2018 Presbytery meeting. To that end, we have produced this annotated list of resources that we recommend to congregations for study by sessions, PW groups, adult Christian education classes, and book groups.

The 223rd General Assembly (2018) of the PC(USA) urged "the session of each congregation, as well as each mid council, COTE-member seminaries, Presbyterian Women's groups, and other organizations to confess their complicity and repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery."

Second Presbyterian Church (Albuquerque) has already taken action:
"The Session of Second repudiates the Doctrine of Discovery. We confess our complicity in the injustice of the Doctrine and promise to: (1) educate our congregation on the history and implications of the Doctrine; (2) work with higher councils to reinforce proliferation of repudiation to other Sessions and higher councils; and (3) cultivate relationships with Native American individuals and tribes, and especially Native American congregations."

We encourage sessions to consider taking similar action, and we recommend downloading this Doctrine of Discovery Resource List and/or visiting the Presbytery of Santa Fe website for more information and resources.
