		<description><![CDATA[Editorial MARCH/ APRIL 2012 Volume 47, Number 2 BRF was organized as a revival/concern movement within the Church of the Brethren. Many of the people who began BRF in 1959 would not have fit fully within the conservative Brethren “mold.” Yet they were sufficiently concerned with the direction of the Brotherhood that they felt some united effort should be made to express the concerns they had. From the beginning, BRF has sought to include both conservative and evangelically minded people within our program, and that program is involved with engaging the larger Church of the Brethren. Some are severely critical of BRF’s involvement with the larger Church of the Brethren, and of our dual emphasis for the conservative and evangelical Brethren where we can express similar concerns (such as on missions, evangelism, essential Christian theology, and the like). Some think that the liberal direction of the Brethren has all but eliminated conservative Brethren thought and practice. We beg to differ. Some have declared that the Church of the Brethren means nothing to them, while BRF has been committed to working within the Church of the Brethren. Some believe that even with conservative teaching we have lost our way, because no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[July 27 &#8211; 29, 2012 Registration Speakers Schedule View Brethren Alive 2012 Brochure in PDF: BA2012p1, BA2012p2 PURPOSE Our purpose is to gather a national convention of Anabaptist oriented evangelical Brethren to celebrate our life in Christ and encourage one another to spiritual growth and faithfulness. The main worship services will explore the theme of &#8220;Fit For The Kingdom.&#8221; We will focus on Anabaptist and Pietist principles that define the Kingdom, and notice that there are some paradoxical challenges and rewards involved when living in the Kingdom. Saturday night we will be praising the Lord through singing, and Sunday we will explore how to develop a passion for living in God&#8217;s Kingdom. The workshops on Saturday morning will focus on various aspects of church life. This event is planned with all ages and the entire family in mind. Activities for children and youth will be planned, along with biblical instruction on a number of different subjects and in a variety of settings. The design of the weekend is to provide a wholesome, physically invigorating, and spiritually enriching time together. Dress for the conference is casual, but we ask that principles of modesty be observed. CHILD CARE Child care (for infant [...]]]></description>

The theme of the conference will come from 2 Corinthians 5:19-20, where Christians are called to be “reconcilers” and “ambassadors” and are to urge all people to be reconciled to God. At this time the BMF has agreed to contribute $2,500 toward the conference, and will consider additional support later in the year. Please mark this event on your calendars and invite others to attend. BRF/BMF Work Camps June 17 – 25, 2012 (Haiti) Brethren Revival Fellowship is planning an intergenerational work camp (ages 11-100+) in Haiti from June 17–25, 2012.

		<description><![CDATA[A Study of Basic Bible Teachings, by Harold S. Martin, 164 pages, $12.00 plus $2.00 shipping. This book proclaims &#8220;sound doctrine&#8221; from a solid evangelical biblical point of view, with understandings in keeping with historic Brethren beliefs. Titus was told to encourage others by teaching in accord with sound doctrine (Titus 2:1), and in 2 Timothy 4:3 we are told that a time will come when many will not put up with sound doctrine. Readers here will find an explanation of the following topics: Chapter 1: The Scriptures Chapter 2: God Our Father Chapter 3: Jesus Christ Our Savior Chapter 4: The Holy Spirit Our Teacher Chapter 5: Angels, Satan, and Demons Chapter 6: Man and Sin Chapter 7: Salvation Chapter 8: The Church Chapter 9: Anabaptists/Pietists/Brethren Chapter 10: Ordinances of the Church Chapter 11: Principles and Prohibitions Chapter 12: Living the Christian Life Chapter 13: Last Things and Eternal Destinies Sound doctrine includes belief in the sovereignty of God, the Scriptures as the infallible guide, the corruption of human nature, the atonement by Jesus&#8217; blood as the only way of salvation, the personal and visible return of Christ, and the church&#8217;s spiritual mission, bringing the lost to Christ and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Indiana I was recently given a copy of the BRF Witness on the topic, &#8220;Is Homosexuality (Still) Unacceptable?&#8221; I want to commend those who wrote articles for this issue. I was very impressed and encouraged once again to stand on God&#8217;s Word as the truth. Do you have additional copies to give to my congregation? From Maryland My family and I attend the **** ***** Church of the Brethren. We are currently involved in discussion about homosexuality, and we have the pamphlet &#8220;Is Homosexuality (Still) Unacceptable?&#8221; While this is an issue that I am not happy that we have to face, I think your information is spot-on. We are bringing up another controversial matter that is MUCH smaller than this, and I want to see if your group has knowledge of it. Our church has always had a policy of no dancing in our fellowship hall. We are told that it is an old Brethren tradition, and it cannot be changed, but we have yet to find where it is written that we cannot have appropriate dancing. Please advise on this matter. From California I am interested in learning more about the Brethren Revival Fellowship. There are tons of [...]]]></description>

Pat and Karen Myers Pat and Karen Myers from the Pleasant View Congregation (Southern PA District), have been serving for a number of years at the Missionary Training College in New Zealand. They are serving through World Evangelization for Christ (WEC). The mission organization asks their missionaries not to solicit financial support, believing that God’s people will provide. The BMF committee has again agreed to contribute $6,000 toward their support for the coming year. Jeff and Jean Graham Jeff and Jean Graham returned home in June of 2009 after serving as missionaries in Haiti through Christian Service International. Jeff began pastoring the Pleasant View Church of the Brethren (South/ Central Indiana District). However, since the major earthquake in Haiti in January of 2010, Jeff and Jean have returned to Haiti in August of 2010. They are again serving through Christian Service International.
