Genesis 1:27 So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Name 2 places in the Old Testament law books (such as Exodus, Leviticus, or Deuteronomy) where the people of God are commanded to help those who are poor or vulnerable. Exodus 23:6 You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor in their lawsuits. Leviticus 19:10 You shall not strip your vineyard bare, or gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the alien: I am the Lord your God.

Isaiah 58:10 if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday. Zechariah 7:10 do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another. Name one passage from the Old Testament that could help us to recognize why we should care for creation. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, 3 New Testament & Social Justice Luke 10:30-37 - 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii,[a] gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.” Matthew 7:12 - 12 “In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 16:18 18 And I tell you, you are Peter,[a] and on this rock[b] I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. Romans 12:15-18 - 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly;[a] do not claim to be wiser than you are. 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. 18 If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. John 3:17-18 - 17 “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God. In what book, chapter and verse in the Gospels does Jesus proclaim the following? "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, / because he has anointed me / to bring glad tidings to the poor. / He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives / and recovery of sight to the blind, / to let the oppressed go free, / and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord." Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 4 Name 3 of Jesus' parables that are about the way we should treat others. Please provide book, chapter, and verse and summarize the parable. Luke 10:25-37 The Parable of the Good Samaritan 25 Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus.[j] “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?” 27 He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.” 29 But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.

Auditor’s Letter 32 VI. 2012-2016 Quadrennial Fiscal Report 33-34 Turner Theological Seminary History Turner Theological Seminary began as a department of Morris Brown College in 1894. For the first nine years, Steward, D.D., a former United States Army chaplain, served as the Dean of Theology. In the interim, the Rev. E. L. Chew was also elected, but the Rev. E. W. Lee, a former principal who was subsequently elected president of Morris Brown College, was appointed to serve officially as the first Dean of Theology. Twelve persons made up the first student body. The name Turner Theological Seminary was selected and approved for the new school in 1900 in honor of Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, the resident bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and senior bishop of the denomination at that time. The Seminary remained on the campus of Morris Brown College until 1957 when a building was acquired at 557 Mitchell Street. The Trustee Board of Morris Brown College, under the leadership of Bishop William Reid Wilkes, Sr. authorized Turner Theological Seminary to become a founding constituent of the Interdenominational Theological Center in 1958. Dr. George A. Sewell was appointed Director/Dean. A charter was obtained in 1975 and a separate Board of Trustees was appointed under the leadership of Bishop Richard Allen Hildebrand. The seminary received its own charter in 1975 and its first independent Board of Trustees was elected.

If we are to realize true revival in African Methodism, we must heed the call to discipleship! It is easy to get lost in the administration of the church to the point where we fail to fulfill the mandates of the ministry of the church. Administration serves ministry, ministry is not an excuse for administration. The goal of discipleship is two dimensional: Be One – Make One. The different life to which we are called is characterized by new patterns of living as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
