Reconciliation

To reconcile means to bring together in harmony and friendship, said Curtis May, director of the church's Office of Reconciliation Ministries (ORM).

ORM conducts reconciliation services in WCG congregations and has district chapter leaders throughout the United States. Pages 4 to 7.

Personal

Jesus was not married, writes Pastor General Joseph Tkach in this month's Personal. But let's suppose for a minute what some people seem to think that he would have done. Pages 6 & 7.

No other name

Jesus is not like any human judge we're ever going to meet, writes Mike Feazell in part two of No Other Name.

No human judge takes on himself every criminal's punishment and then declares the criminal "not guilty!" Pages 10 & 11, 20-22.

Women in church

Women have an increasing role in the work of the church, writes Mike Morrison.

Some wonder why women should be allowed to do anything in church. To give perspective on this issue, let's look at the biblical evidence. Pages 12 to 15.

Window on the World

For the past five years, the Worldwide Church of God has been supporting an effort to establish indigenous congregations in rural Bangladesh, writes Randal Dick.

The effort is headed up by John Biswas, a WCG member. Pages 16 & 17.

Europe

In the past few years, a network of locally produced magazines has sprung up, writes John Halford, European regional director.

Today, the publishing aspect of our church is alive and well in Europe. We thought you would like to see a quick review of the European produced magazines. Pages 18 & 19.
