Barnabas Forum
Sunday at 11:00 in Grant Hall
What is the Biblical Perspective on Immigration
Many people argue that immigration is one of the most important questions facing the United States these days, and many people also argue that the Bible is a trusted and authoritative source for wisdom about how we should structure our lives. So what does the Bible say about immigration? If we go looking for a biblical perspective on immigration, what will we find? And, how has the Bible been used in recent debates about immigration? Rev. Dr. Eric C. Smith, Associate Professor of Early Christian Texts and Traditions at the Iliff School of Theology, will walk us through some of the key biblical themes and passages relating to strangers, immigrants, and migration.
Today’s Forum is sponsored by the Wills Long Lectureship Series.

Do I Stay Christian?
Book Read
Discussion begins February 9
During these cold winter months, the Barnabas Forum is giving us the opportunity to delve into a stimulating book read together as a community. Brian McLaren, former pastor and prolific author, provides incisive insights that will help us all to rethink our Christian identity in light of what understandably repels so many from faith today (including ourselves). Books can be purchased for $15 at the Book Table in Lukens after worship throughout January. The Forum will host discussions on the book beginning February 9. Join us as we learn and grow together!

New Members Reception
Sunday, January 26
Next Sunday we will receive sixteen fellow travelers on the road of faith who are joining us at St. Barnabas – some of them quite young! You will have an opportunity to meet them at a reception after next week’s worship, right before the Annual Meeting!

JANUARY
Giving-2-Others
The Absalom Jones Fund
We are beginning the New Year's Giving-2-Others with support for the Absalom Jones Fund for Episcopal historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Two of them - St. Augustine’s University in Raleigh, NC and Voorhees University in Denmark, SC - have been affiliated with the Episcopal Church since the 1800s. This fund honors Absalom Jones, the first African American to be ordained a priest in The Episcopal Church. These HBCUs provide an excellent liberal arts education to thousands of students, preparing leaders who will continue the work of building a more just and humane society. Our support of the fund reflects our parish’s priority of promoting racial justice.
For more information click here. All donations in January will be sent to the Episcopal Church in time for the Feast of Absalom Jones on February 13. Please be generous by giving online in January or earmark a check to St. Barnabas with “Giving-2-Others.”
Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
