  • GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD 1 Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops Of
    GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York issued a letter on 16th February outlining their proposals for continuing to address, as a church, questions concerning human sexuality. The Archbishops committed themselves and the House of Bishops to two new strands of work: the creation of a Pastoral Advisory Group and the development of a substantial Teaching Document on the subject. This paper outlines progress toward the realisation of these two goals. Introduction 1. Members of the General Synod will come back to the subject of human sexuality with very clear memories of the debate and vote on the paper from the House of Bishops (GS 2055) at the February 2017 group of sessions. 2. Responses to GS 2055 before and during the Synod debate in February underlined the point that the ‘subject’ of human sexuality can never simply be an ‘object’ of consideration for us, because it is about us, all of us, as persons whose being is in relationship. Yes, there are critical theological issues here that need to be addressed with intellectual rigour and a passion for God’s truth, with a recognition that in addressing them we will touch on deeply held beliefs that it can be painful to call into question. It must also be kept constantly in mind, however, that whatever we say here relates directly to fellow human beings, to their experiences and their sense of identity, to their lives and to the loves that shape and sustain them.

    In the Summer 2014 issue of Japan Harvest magazine, the official publication of the Japan Evangelical Missionary Association (JEMA), we began publishing profiles of our member missions. This has been an ongoing process, both to assemble profiles of existing members, and gather those of new members. As a result, this current booklet is not in alphabetical order, rather in the order in which profiles were published in our magazine. As you read, please note the publishing date on the bottom of each page, and realize that for some missions their goals and activities may have changed since that time.

He was one of the few people who witnessed both the forming years of the American AG related churches in Japan before the war as well as the founding and growth of JAG after the war. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yumiyama himself was the history of the Assemblies of God ministry in Japan. THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF KIYOMA YUMIYAMA Yumiyama talked about his life history in lectures and interviews. AND THE FOUNDATION OF JAPAN ASSEMBLIES OF GOD We have several books commemorating Yumiyarna, which are collections of essays by his former students and colleagues. However, he never wrote nor desired to write his own autobiography.3 There are many discrepancies in the details of his account^.^ We, therefore, need to check Masakazu Suzuki them very carefully. I had the privilege of conducting two interviews with Yumiyama asking about the history of JAG. He was very open to "Father" Juergensen instructed and gave courage to this man my inquiries but at the same time he was reluctant to give detailed who could have stumbled and given up... He has carried answers to some of my questions. His answers were sometimes very great responsibility and has been a spiritual leader - a man vague and could be taken in many different ways. He told me that the chosen of God.. Whatever the future holds, we earnestly pray that the God who raised up Moses and chose Joshua history of JAG is complicated and very difficult to explain.
