Matthew 25
Three dynamic guests, including some of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A)’s leading voices, will headline the next Matthew 25 workshop on effective methods for eradicating systemic poverty.
Any self-respecting Christian seminary will teach its students that the Jesus sheep and goat story in Matthew 25 is a mandate to care for the less fortunate in society, including those in prison.
A recent visit by family and supporters to an Indonesian prison sparked renewed optimism that Mary Jane Veloso, a domestic worker and trafficking victim who at one time faced a death sentence may eventually secure her release.
People with ears tuned to the Matthew 25 vision of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) heard plenty of support for the movement woven through this summer’s Worship & Music Conference presented by the Presbyterian Association of Musicians (PAM), which is a Matthew 25 group.
The Matthew 25 Team, created by the Presbyterian Mission Agency Board to help do the work of the Matthew 25 movement, turned its attention Monday to giving mid councils and congregations tools to minister to people living in the growing number of states passing anti-transgender and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.
Measuring congregational and mid council work to end systemic poverty was the topic of Thursday’s second in a series of Matthew 25 online workshops being offered to help local communities create empowerment, health and wholeness. About 70 people attended.
While the Rev. Dr. John Wilkinson appreciates that all large organizations have “many moving parts that all work together” — just as the Apostle Paul’s scriptural metaphor of the “one body” would have it — he did not expect that his family would be among those parts that kept moving.
Carried onward throughout her sermon by expressions of support and applause, the Rev. Dr. Diane Givens Moffett brought the 47th biennial conference of the National Black Presbyterian Caucus to a close Saturday with message about taking a second look and seeing what’s in plain view.
Hermeneutic skills of a higher order were on display Friday during the National Black Presbyterian Caucus’ opening worship service, which featured inspired and insightful preaching by the Rev. Gregory Bentley, Co-Moderator of the 224th General Assembly (2020).
We say we want to end poverty, but how do we know if we are being effective?
That is a central question to be addressed in the second in a series of online workshops dedicated to the Matthew 25 focus on eradicating systemic poverty titled “End Poverty? Measuring Our Impact Holistically.”
