The publication of this resource fulfills a commissioner resolution adopted by the 221st General Assembly (2014) directing that it be delivered to mid councils for study and action. It responds to the situation in “eighty-one countries where homosexuality is illegal, [and where] God’s global family includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people who face persecution for simply being who they are, for whom they love, and with whom they create a family.” This resource is intended to raise awareness and prompt compassionate action on behalf of the PC(USA).

Presbyterians Today | 2016 Advent Devoional A JOURNEY OF MEMORIES During Advent—the time before Christmas—we watch, wait, and prepare for the coming of the Messiah. We read Scriptures and practice church traditions that have been around for 2,000 years. This 2016 devotional is a journey of memories—of the many sights, smells, tastes, and sounds that point to the promises of God in Jesus Christ. These are the daily incarnations of our faith. When does a touch remind us of Jesus? Can a candle bring God’s hope to a dark room? Can a smell take us to a holy place? Indonesian edition

우리의 종교 간 약속을 형성하는 성서적 이야기 기억하기:
종교 간 나눔을 통한 다리 놓기
By J. Herbert Nelson, II
총회 공 서기
우리 주님이시고 구원자이신 예수 그리스도의 이름으로 문안인사 드립니다.
미국장로교 총회사무국(OGA)에 공서기로 근무 한지 한 달이 지나서 보니 우리 교단에 지식이 풍성하고 헌신이 투철한 하나님의 종들이 계신다는 것을 분명하게 알게 되었습니다. 많은 분들이 전화, 카드, 이메일, 편지, 텍스트, 트윗, 그리고 음성녹음으로 후원과 기도를 전해 주셨습니다. 우리 교단이 앞으로 가야할 여정에 대한 지원의 목소리에 감사드립니다. 이 역사의 순간에 미국장로교단을 인도하게 됨에 특권과 겸손을 동시에 느낍니다.
