This issue brings proceedings of the Bible conference “In God’s Image” held at New York Theological Seminary on Monday, October 22, 2012. I am confident that this issue will capture the blessings poured out at the conference and transmit them to the wider community of The Living Pulpit.

The conference, “A Season for Renewal”, focused on ways that could help stop the fall in membership of U.S mainline churches—perhaps even reverse it! The October issue of The Living Pulpit offers the articles by the Conference speakers.

Quotations about Caring for one another.

By Jin Hee Han

On behalf of the editorial and production team of The Living Pulpit, I send you peace and grace through our Lord. Our April-June 2012 issue on the raising of Jesus Christ received an enthusiastic reception, adding to the celebration of the hope of resurrection. It seems the spirit of Easter never wears out, for each Sunday brings a testimony to the everlasting life in the Lord.

Quotations about resurrection.

By Jin Han

I am delighted to invite you to this new issue of The Living Pulpit that focuses on the resurrection. As many of our readers know, The Living Pulpit devoted a past issue to Easter, and many would fondly remember it. The current issue is not a reprint. It is a totally new edition with feature articles freshly written by biblical scholars, church leaders, preachers, and a rabbi.
