UPDATE FOR JUNE 2006

Ministry of Reconciliation. Of the many ways of describing Christian service, Paul chose ?the ministry of reconciliation? which proclaims that ?God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ? and he has committed to us the message of reconciliation? (2 Corinthians 5:11?6:2). Not only does the Gospel reconcile men to God, but also to each other. We have seen this reconciling Gospel the joyful fruit of, as we encouraged some estranged brethren to forgive and embrace each other. God is faithful and His gospel helps us to live with one another, despite our imperfections! Praise His Name!
Evolution and Genesis. Teaching evolution as fact is definitely not dead in Italian schools. One of our regular Bible students requested information both about the Genesis account of creation and some responses to evolutionary thinking. His brother is preparing a report for one of his highschool classes, which is a heavy background of evolutionary thinking. So Harold updated lesson materials he prepared years ago, readying them as one more study available for the churches.
