WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY - 11AM-Noon
Understanding The Beginning of The Church

“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.

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.
