Sobre IBD

Believing peacemaking to be an inherent part of discipleship, Presbyterians have taken many valiant stands for peace throughout our history. However, changing global realities, political and military actions, and new weapons of war have made the world less safe than ever. The church must reconsider how to be faithful peacemakers in this changing reality.The Presbyterian Church recently spent six years reflecting on peacemaking. Building on past policy documents, people at all levels of the church studied and discussed what peacemaking policies needed to be modified given the world context today. The 2016 PC(USA) General Assembly affirmed five affirmations the church must make to fulfill its peacemaking calling. Those affirmations become risks when truly taken, because their message collides with the demands for continued sacrifice by the powers that be. In this timely resource, author Christian Iosso explains what the five risks are, how they differ from previous positions, and what taking each risk might look like today.Ideal for individual or group study, this important resource includes questions for reflection and discussion.

  • Pureté et impureté selon la Bible
    Jean-Marc Berthoud
    Trois formes de relâchement peuvent conduire au déclin et à la disparition des Églises : la tolérance des erreurs théologiques ; celle du péché moral ; et ce fléau, souvent ignoré car méconnu, la culture inconsciente de l’impureté.Si le péché moral et l’erreur hérétique constituent des maux bien distincts, il n’en va pas de même de l’impureté qui, comme la médiocrité, est une h...

Ceci à l’exemple du Christ qui, lors de son séjour parmi nous, déclarait que si ce qu’il af...
