                                   The rain is falling outside my church study window and I’m grateful for a roof over our
choir closes wiTh                heads. The trustees have worked hard over the last several months to make sometimes difficult
r ecording P rojecT .... 2       decisions about how to take care of our facilities. Most of us do not see the hours of
                                 conversations, meetings, phone calls, and sacred arguing that sometimes occurs behind the
i n celebraTion of The                             scenes, all with the goal of doing what is right and what is best for the church.
Music M inisTries of                                 The roof work reminds me that it takes money to run a church. The church,
chrysTie a daMs and                                of course, is not a building – it is the gathered community of disciples. Yet this
M ary r andall ......... 2                         gathered community has been blessed with staff, programs, and a marvelous
                                 building – all means to carrying out our ministry together. This is partly why the church, or at
a sk   The   PasTor ........ 3   least a Presbyterian church, functions on a pledge system. We ask each other to give what we
                                 can, as a response to what God has given to us. We trust that when we share this way, there
new MeMbers                      will be enough to carry out our ministry. This trust is a core act of our communal faith.
welcoMed ................ 3        While this primary motivation is spiritual, I’m under no illusions that money is also a
                                 primary communicator of trust in communities of faith. Ours is no exception. If you feel

froM The M ayor ........ 4       to make a pledge and to see your pledge as a true act of faith. If you do not feel connected
                                 or do not share that trust, you will be less inclined to make a pledge that truly represents a
diversiTy coMMiTTee              spiritual act of gratitude. Our representative governance, in my view, puts the responsibility of

gay P ride f esTival .. 4          At last month’s Session, we discussed our financial giving at some length. If I had to
                                 summarize the conversation, I would emphasize two areas. The first is a real desire that every
news    froM   M bengwi . 5      member of our community take their financial support of the church seriously. The second is
                                 that no member of our community be made to feel guilty, or somehow less valued because of
RENEW: VBS                       their own financial circumstances.
Wish List ................ 5       I appreciated the balance of the Session conversation and would suggest that any faithful
                                 talk of gift-giving, financial or otherwise, must include both. Practically speaking, what this
a True P eriPaTeTic ... 6        means from my perspective is that we all ask each other together to make a commitment to
                                 our church that truly serves as a token of our gratitude to God for the gifts we have been given.

              Letter from Reverend Christina Tantoh, Pastor of the
                         Mbengwi Presbyterian Church
May 3, 2010

  Thank you very much! We are doing fine too. In fact, we have been struggling to get the Palm Sunday service in pictures to you
to no avail. We hope to send them by post. Last Sunday we extended your greetings to the congregation. They were happy to hear
from you. However, Easter season was very successful.
                     We are presently preparing for the Pentecost week as we intend to run a program ‘waiting for the Holy Spirit’.
                  We intend to have daily Morning Prayer sessions from Ascension Day until Pentecost Sunday. We want to observe
                  the Ten (10) days prayer time the disciples of Jesus had before the event of the Pentecost. We intend to take a retreat
                  within this period to study the works of the Holy Spirit! It would be an exciting event for us! Yesterday Sunday,
                  we had fund raising to continue with our church project after a Session Meeting, which took place last Friday. The
PNS and PS Mbengwi are preparing for graduation, end of year and end of course examinations.
  We intend to hold a partnership meeting this coming Friday to look into the matters of the PS and PNS Mbengwi. The School
Project is still not completed. In fact, I am to take off for Buea in an hour’s time to meet the Church authorities to see how I can get
some money to fit the doors of the four classrooms.
  We have lost quite a good number of Christians especially the aged. So funeral services have become very regular in the
congregation. We also have quite a good number that are sick but God is taking care. Personally, I have been quite busy with
congregational work and administration. Last month we had a meeting of all the 54 congregations of the Presbytery. I am
 presently preparing my report to the central church. We are also preparing to attend the staffing meeting, which takes place end of
this month. We have just induction new church leaders. Therefore, they may have to reshuffle the staff of the church to meet their
administrative needs.
  Rev. Tende David, the associate Pastor may be going on retirement by the end of June 2010. So the congregation may be left with
only one pastor! Just want I can give you for now!
  Mr Fokam and Mrs. Ambe Elizabeth may have more to give you. They do not find it easy to communicate due to low supply of
electricity and network problems. The Internet installation for the school is what I use, but it takes quite some luck to have the lines
go through!
  Accept and extend our warmest greetings to your family and the congregation. God bless you!

  Rev. Christina Tantoh

family moved every three years. He was stationed in
Iwo Jima and she didn’t see him until she was two
years old. During her childhood, her father wrote
numerous letters to her and she treasures each one.

  • 3. a sk the Pastor by r ev. e Mily rose M arTin what that means in layperson terms, please let me know! emily@browndowntown.org John Calvin writes about sin in relation to Adam’s “fall” (Genesis 3) – the first instance of faithlessness, of showing Q: “What is the difference between sin and evil?” contempt for God’s Word, that led to pride, ambition and then disobedience. For Calvin, faithlessness (the contempt for God’s A: Well, it depends on who you ask, and even then, it is not Word) is the root of all sin. On the other hand, he tends to entirely clear to me. Many theologians will define one or the describe evil, as a personal being (Satan) that lies about God, other terms but not both, or they will claim there is a but is nevertheless created by God and subject to God’s will. difference and then proceed to use the terms interchangeably. Adam and Eve’s sin could also be described as their believing Argh! Daniel Migliore, a modern day theologian, defines both Satan’s lies instead of God’s Word. The result of their (and our) sin and evil as that which opposes and sin was (and is) estrangement from God, which is itself sin and ? contravenes the will of God. brings us back to Tillich. The Bible talks about sin in a way that In the end, this is one of those semantic riddles that depends highlights its complexity: an external force on how you define sin and evil, and no two theologians define (Gen. 4:7), disobedience/rebellion (Ex. 20:20, them in exactly the same way.

The origin of evil in a world Num. 19), harming neighbor (Mt 18:21), blindness/darkness which was good when it was created by God is somewhat of (John 9), going astray (Rom 3:9), turning away from God, a mystery and a contradiction. Neither sin nor evil has the last falsehood/self-deception (1 Jn 1:8, Gen 3:8-13, 2 Sam 12:1-7). word in a world where the God revealed to us in Jesus Christ It is full of paradoxes.

Evil is powerful and real, but also a lie that is ultimately destroyed by the Truth of God’s Word in Jesus Christ. There does seem to be agreement among most of the New Members Welcomed theologians I read that when we refer to sin, we are talking about human activity and the human condition. Evil can either April 11, 2010 be discussed as larger than sin and inclusive of it (evil includes “the dark side of creation” as well as the sinful things that The following persons joined Brown humans do”) or as the result of our sinful condition (evil is Memorial on April 11, 2010. We welcome them! what results from the condition of sin and sinful deeds). Paul Tillich lays out both these options and then says that he David (Dave) N. Miller prefers the latter, narrower definition of evil. Sin is both the human condition of estrangement, as well as the actions David J. Nyweide (thoughts and deeds) that cause or worsen that estrangement or are born of it. God permits sin because it is necessary to give human beings freedom, and evil is the result of our freely Andrea L. Schanbacher chosen sin, which has now become a great chasm that separates us from God, each other, and our true selves. Evil, Adrienne Williams for Tillich, is the “structure of self-destruction which is implicit in the nature of universal estrangement.” If you know June 2010 t he t idinGs PaGe 3

  • 5. news from m benGwi Letter from Reverend Christina Tantoh, Pastor of the Mbengwi Presbyterian Church May 3, 2010 Thank you very much! We are doing fine too. In fact, we have been struggling to get the Palm Sunday service in pictures to you to no avail. We hope to send them by post. Last Sunday we extended your greetings to the congregation. They were happy to hear from you. However, Easter season was very successful. We are presently preparing for the Pentecost week as we intend to run a program ‘waiting for the Holy Spirit’. We intend to have daily Morning Prayer sessions from Ascension Day until Pentecost Sunday. We want to observe the Ten (10) days prayer time the disciples of Jesus had before the event of the Pentecost. We intend to take a retreat within this period to study the works of the Holy Spirit! It would be an exciting event for us! Yesterday Sunday, we had fund raising to continue with our church project after a Session Meeting, which took place last Friday. The PNS and PS Mbengwi are preparing for graduation, end of year and end of course examinations. We intend to hold a partnership meeting this coming Friday to look into the matters of the PS and PNS Mbengwi. The School Project is still not completed. In fact, I am to take off for Buea in an hour’s time to meet the Church authorities to see how I can get some money to fit the doors of the four classrooms. We have lost quite a good number of Christians especially the aged. So funeral services have become very regular in the congregation. We also have quite a good number that are sick but God is taking care. Personally, I have been quite busy with congregational work and administration. Last month we had a meeting of all the 54 congregations of the Presbytery. I am presently preparing my report to the central church. We are also preparing to attend the staffing meeting, which takes place end of this month. We have just induction new church leaders. Therefore, they may have to reshuffle the staff of the church to meet their administrative needs. Rev. Tende David, the associate Pastor may be going on retirement by the end of June 2010. So the congregation may be left with only one pastor! Just want I can give you for now! Mr Fokam and Mrs. Ambe Elizabeth may have more to give you. They do not find it easy to communicate due to low supply of electricity and network problems. The Internet installation for the school is what I use, but it takes quite some luck to have the lines go through! Accept and extend our warmest greetings to your family and the congregation.
