REVELATION !!
WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY - 11AM-NOON
August 28 - November 20, 2019
Fellowship Hall
How can thinking Christians who want to live faithfully and responsibly in our contemporary world hear the word of God in Revelation? The answer requires:
Patience: the literary genre is challenging.
Information: the historical setting is strange.
Imagination: to see beyond and through the images to the truth.
Commitment: to hold Jesus as an interpretive lens.
Humility: a posture always appropriate before another culture.

Second Presbyterian Church on Oct. 6
Las Placitas Presbyterian Church on Oct. 13
and Menaul School sometime that week.
She would like to visit other churches and faith groups the rest of that week. Dori can lead Bible studies or classes on mission and partnership. She can talk about immigration and current events in Central America. She is happy to talk to children and youth as well as adults. If your congregation would like to schedule a time for Dori to speak at your church (to your Bible Study, PW Group, Men's Group, Youth Group, Mission Committee, Session), you can contact her directly at dori.hjalmarson@pcusa.org.

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.
