THE CHAPLAIN SPEAKS
KNOW IN WHOM YOU BELIEVE: Who is
the author of the Bible? How did we
get it? How long did it take to write
the Bible? How can you be sure it is
true? What can we know' about . God?
What do you mean by saying there are
Three Persons but one God?
Starting next Sunday evening, 18
September, these and other topics are
going to be discussed at Adak Christian
Fellowship. On the first and third
Sunday of each month Chaplain Stenberg
is going to lead a discussion on some
phase of the beliefs of our Christian
Faith. If there are things that puzzle
you about our beliefs, or if you want
to know more about them, come and join
in the discussions at 1930 next Sunday
in the R. & E. Building.
Immanuel Kant wrote £ small book
called THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF
THE METAPHYSICS- OF ETHICS. This would
be uninteresting to most people. But
many people are interested in the basic
beliefs of‘ the Christian Religion*
Even many people who attend church
every Sunday would and should like' to
know more about the things in which
they state they believe. Others may
(continued next column) ;
be curious about why some people do
believe these things.
This Sunday evening discussiongroup
is intended as ’’Inquirer's Glass", It
is for the serious who want to know
more about their Faith. It is for
; those who are not sure they would want
| this Faith, but want to learn about
: it. It is also for those who are not
| at present Church members but want to
| prepare themselves for membership in a
church. It is for those adults who
have never been baptized, but would
; like to be baptized. This class will
[ be a preparation, because part of bap
| tism is a promise to believe in a
| loving God and Savior. One cannot
' properly believe without knowing Whom
or what it is that he or she is pro
mising to believe.
In the Early Days Of the Christian’
Church, going way back to the years
just aft.erChrist ascended into Heaven,
it was common practice to have instr
uction .to prepare for Church Member
ship. This instruction W3S to prepare
for baptism into the Christian Faith
and was necessary before a person was
allowed to even attend the service of
Holy Communion. The people of that
time were being brought into the Church
from heathen beliefs. Today the situ
ation is different. Few have an out
right belief in one of the heathen
religions. However, many who state
, they are Christians would find it more
meaningful and more desirable to know
more about what the Bible says.
The Adak Christian Fellowship also
welcomes you to its other meetings
too, a religious movie the second Sun
day of’each month and a speaker on the
last Sunday.. The movies are currently
.from the Moody Bible Institute Science
series. Come on over on Sunday Even
