Video Resource on New Heidelberg Catechism Translation Available
A video introducing the newly re-translated Heidelberg Catechism, and in particular, the issues surrounding the translation of controversial question #87 is now available online. It is developed and presented by Gary Neal Hanson, faculty member at University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, member of the Special Committee on the Heidelberg Catechism, and author of the study guide we are using at presbytery meetings this year. Teaching elders and ruling elder commissioners are strongly encouraged to view the video in preparation for our May presbytery meeting. The 22-minute video can be found here: http://www.pcusa.org/blogs/faith/2013/3/26/heidelberg-catechism-remix/.
What Does Presbytery Do for Us? What Does Synod Do for Us?
Two new resources have been added to the documents list ("documents" tab above). The first, "What Does Presbytery Do for Us?" lists 70 different functions of the Presbytery funded by mission and per capita support. The second, "What Does Synod Do for Us?" identifies 30 functions of the Synod of the Rocky Mountains funded by mission and per capita support. Please download and share these resources with your sessions and congregations as you consider your support for 2013.
