On starting a new life in Australia There can be little doubt that one of the most contentious issues in the public God given opportunity for us as policy arena in Australia today is the issue of refugees.

  • Sower. BIBLE SOCIETY AUSTRALIA
    AUTUMN 2021 Sower. BIBLE SOCIETY AUSTRALIA. TO ALL PEOPLE. BY ALL MEANS POSSIBLE. 2 TO ALL PEOPLE. BY ALL MEANS POSSIBLE. elcome to our new look Sower. After listening to your feedback, which was a fantastic mix of positive and not- quite-so about the trial combined magazine of Sower, Eternity and Koorong, we have decided to return to WSower being on its own. The most vocal voices came from our commit- ted Sower readers who felt they weren’t receiving the depth of content that they have always valued regarding Bible Society’s international and Australian projects. I know you are going to love this magazine. Our hope is that you will treasure each edition. Share it with others. Leave it on your coffee table so you can go back to it and so others can also enjoy the stories. While this is a dedicated Sower magazine - introducing you to new pro- jects, reporting back on those you have financially contributed to, and seeking your prayers for the work of Bible Society here in Australia and internationally - we want to also share the good news of Eternity, the writings of CPX and highlights from Koorong’s catalogue. No longer a combined magazine, but a few tasters perhaps? In this edition, our feature article is on an important new project in Rwanda. It will be 30 years in 2024 since the world was shocked by the Rwandan genocide, and not surprisingly there is increasing tension between the Hutus and the Tutsis. This important project seeks to teach important Biblical lessons which will help primary and secondary students learn about forgiveness, reconciliation and healing.

Packer: The latest Christian traumatised communities The holy scholar resources for you Page 2–4 Page 18–21 Page 33–39 We are all in this together ear Anna, Bronwyn, Graham, Margaret, Beverly, Pete, Miriam, Bruce, Angela, Yvonne, Elizabeth, June, Mike, Harold Dand other friends of Bible Society, Eternity and Koorong, Let me first say ‘Thank You.’ I loved all your comments and ideas for a new name for our new combined magazine. Your contributions were fantastic! Sowing for Eternity. Eternal Seed. Beyond. Given. Trinity. However, the overwhelming consensus was to stick with Bible Society Magazine, as that name says it all. So, welcome to Bible Society Magazine issue 2. We will continue fine-tuning the look and feel of the different sections of our magazine. I mentioned in the last edition about our Staff Devotion on Wednesdays. Over the past few weeks I have been leading a series on culture. In 2 Timothy 1:13, Paul tells Timothy to ‘hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.’ (NKJV) As I spoke to the Bible Society team across Australia, I painted the picture of a patchwork quilt. All the different squares, different pat- terns, can look mismatched or disjointed up close, but when knitted together they form a magnificent cohesive whole. As Christians we are urged to hold fast to the pattern of words which have been laid down, knitted together, in the Bible and by Christian thinkers, theologians, writers, pastors, leaders, friends, over the centuries since Paul wrote that letter.
