Grant Building, Provo, UT 84602-2701. The Religious Educator is designed to serve the interests and needs of those who study and teach the gospel on a regular basis. The distinct focuses of the Religious Educator are on teaching the gospel; publishing studies on scripture, doctrine, and Church history; and sharing the messages of outstanding devotional essays. The contributions to each issue are carefully reviewed and edited by experienced teachers, writers, and scholars. We anticipate that the articles published in the Religious Educator will appeal to anyone inter- ested in perspectives on the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Articles will be selected on the basis of their appeal to and appropriateness for religion professors at each of the Brigham Young University campuses, full-time seminary and institute teachers and administrators, volunteer early-morning and home-study seminary teachers, and volunteer institute of religion teachers. In every issue, we plan a selection of articles that will be helpful and appealing to this diverse audience. In each issue, we hope that each group will find one or more articles that meet the individual needs of members of the group. The beliefs of the respective authors are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young Uni- versity, or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

At the time an author submits an article for possible publication, the author should submit one copy of the prospective article, an electronic file of the article on an IBM-compatible diskette formatted in Microsoft Word, and photocopies of all source materials cited, arranged in order, numbered to coincide with endnotes, and highlighted to reflect the quotations or paraphrases.

Let love be your lodestar. These are a few of the positive, inspiring messages President Gordon B. Hinckley provides in “Four Imperatives for Religious Educators.” With his permission, we have reprinted this classic address that offers positive and specific reminders on what matters most. From the early days of the Church, the Lord has instructed us to seek learning out of the best books. In “Our Legacy of Religious Education,” Stephen K. Iba, assistant administra- tor in the Church Educational System, offers a montage of scenes from Church history, showing vignettes of teaching settings from Ohio to Salt Lake City that emphasize our commitment to education. The woman who anointed Jesus’s feet is an enigma. What lessons can we learn from her devotion? In a thoughtful piece, Gaye Strathearn, assistant professor of ancient scripture at BYU, draws powerful lessons from this account on love, faith in Christ, and forgiveness. Seven women in the New Testament are named Mary, so teachers may have difficulty telling them apart. Blair G. Van Dyke, principal at the Highland Utah Lone Peak Seminary, and Ray L. Huntington, associate professor of ancient scripture at BYU, offer insights into each Mary and how each differed in her discipleship. What power does a good question have in teaching? Certainly the Master Teacher used ques- tions effectively in His teachings, and we also will benefit by following His example. Alan R. Maynes, a CES area director, describes the motivational power of good questions and illustrates how they can invite the spirit of revelation in our lives. Biblical scholarship and popular media outlets often discuss a lost Gospel called Q. What is this supposedly lost Gospel, and what should religious educators know about it? Thomas A. Wayment, assistant professor of ancient scripture at BYU, offers guidance based on current research. These are a few of the fine articles in this special Church Educational System issue. We want to thank Thomas R. Valletta and Melinda Shaha for their assistance. Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, Editor-in-Chief R. Devan Jensen, Executive Editor Ted D.

  • Six Tikunim for Israel at 60
    For Educational Use Only Six T Six Tikkunim for Israel's Sixtieth Year In celebration and commemoration of Israel’s sixtieth anniversary, we propose six Tikkunim . The idea of Tikkun positions people in partnership with God, assuming responsibility for our world. By the same token, we invite Jews in Israel and abroad to share the responsibility for the present and future State of Israel, through meaningful learning and experience of current dilemmas of the sixty- year-old/young country. Halachah offers an educational frame for the number “sixty”, when it claims that food will be considered kosher even if it has a non-kosher ingredient, when the kosher ingredients of the food are sixty times greate r than the non kosher Thinking within this . ָטֵ ל ְִִ י ingredient. This is termed: Nullified by Sixty 1 framework as well as the framework of Tikkun Olam, led us to identify six Tikkunim for Israel’s sixtieth year. We hope that these Tikkunim will serve as an invitation for contemplation and action on that which requires mending and in turn become sixty times greater than other Israeli challenges. In the following document you will find six gates for six Tikkunim . Each gate is thematically inspired by one of the books of the Mishnah: Tikkun of Time תיקו הזמ – Zeraim (1 Tikkun of Shabbat תיקו שבת – Mo’ed (2 Tikkun of Gender תיקו המגדר – Nashim (3 Tikkun of Conservation תיקו השימור - Nezikin (4 Tikkun of the Sacred Place and Space תיקו המקו הקדוש - Kodashim (5 Tikkun of Social Ethics תיקו הכשרות החברתית – Toharot (6 1 " "ָ ל אִ רִ י ֶַ רָה [ ְטֵלִ י ] ְִִ י " ( תלמוד בבלי , קודשי , חולי , פרק ז ', ד+ צ" ח א ' גמרא) 1 Each Tikkun gate includes: a verse introducing the key issue, an essential question, a Jewish Text, an Israeli song and a contemporary Israeli thought.

  • The Mystery of Mary Magdalene – [email protected] - ©2017 WGS Ministries the Mystery of Mary Magdalene – Part 1
    Word of God, Speak – The Mystery of Mary Magdalene www.WGSministries.org – [email protected] - ©2017 WGS Ministries The Mystery of Mary Magdalene – Part 1 Mystery and intrigue have surrounded the maiden from Magdala. Many have believed her to be . Jesus’s wife . and . or . The chief of the apostles . and . or . An unfortunate victim of a male power play in early Church politics . and . .or A converted prostitute. Take your pick. Mix and match. The probability is that you, like most, will fail to decipher the mystery if you rely upon sensational articles that have grabbed headlines and sold millions of books in our lifetime. Yet, since the Gospels were written, never have so many believed so much about one person with so little evidence! This may surprise you – so little evidence? Yes, surprisingly, she is barely mentioned in the Gospel narrative during the life and death of Jesus, but then she appears in one of the resurrection encounters with Jesus with dramatic force. In this special edition of Stories of the Master, we will explore what we know from the biblical record, I will share a story about Mary from John 20 when she encountered the resurrected Lord, and we will investigate why so many believe so many different things about her. What are these beliefs based upon, and are they as credible like the original biblical stories? We begin by investigating the biblical record. Her name was Mary, in the first century – Miriam – a common Hebrew name, and she came from the village of Magdala. Mary was a common name and many “Mary’s” show up in the New Testament.

  • The Sorry Tale
    THE SORRY TALE A STORY OF THE TIME OF CHRIST BY PATIENCE WORTH COMMUNICATED THROUGH MRS. JOHN H. CURRAN EDITED BY CASPER S. YOST NEW YORK 1917 COPYRIGHT, 1917, BY HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY Published June, 1917 THE QUINN & BODEN CO. PRESS Rahway. N. J. PREFACE THE story of the invisible author of The Sorry Tale was told in the book entitled Patience Worth: A Psychic Mystery. It seems sufficient here to present a brief statement of the facts in relation to that phenomenal personality. She came to Mrs. John H. Curran, of St. Louis, Missouri, one evening in the summer of 1913, as Mrs. Curran sat with a ouija board on her knees, and introduced herself as "Patience Worth," with the declaration that she had lived long ago and now had come again. From that time she has poured out a continuous stream of communications, conversational or literary, including hundreds of poems, numerous parables and allegories, several short stories, a drama, and two novels. All of her compositions are distinguished by the archaic form of her language, which is, however, not the same in any two of her larger works, there being important dialectal variations that make each one quite different from the others in this particular, and the archaic quality as well as the dialectal form varies as much in her minor productions and in her conversations. Yet upon all of them is the impress of a single creative personality. Each and every one of them bears the imprint of Patience Worth. Mrs. Curran, through whom all of this matter has come, is a young woman of normal disposition and temperament, intelligent and vivacious.

  • The Upside of Evil (Tetzave) by Rabbi Ben Tzion Spitz Moshe Feiglin On
    11 Adar Alef 5779 – Feb 16, 2019 BSD from God and cleave to divine service, God is overjoyed, and it The Upside of Evil (Tetzave) causes a divine light to spread forth. By Rabbi Ben Tzion Spitz May we always overcome our negative natural impulses and turn our inner demons into radiant light. Evil is unspectacular and always human, and Moshe Feiglin on the Latest Yisrael shares our bed and eats at our own table. -W. H. Auden Hayom Poll: ZEHUT at 5 Mandates In describing the construction plans of the Holy Tabernacle, the Torah adds a short line about the fuel needed to light the Menorah, the golden candelabrum, which was one of the special fixtures of the Tabernacle. It states as follows: “And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.” – Exodus 27:22 The Berdichever focuses on the choice of words of “beating” the olive to get light. He compares the olive in this case to one’s evil inclination. The evil inclination is constantly enticing us to follow our base desires, to indulge in what is forbidden and to separate us from spiritual and divine service. The solution is to “beat” that desire and then elevate that very same desire, to channel it into divine service. To use that passion, that interest, that energy, in holy ventures. We need to consider that if we have some physical yearning, how much stronger should our yearning be for the infinite, for God? If we have some physical fear, how much stronger should our fear and awe of the divine be? Dear Friends, When we’ve managed to convert that evil inclination, those base Yes, this morning it looks like ZEHUT’s sun is beginning to shine, desires into spiritual energy, into holy actions, then that evil has thank God.
