Dear Friends,
My Special Item this week is an introduction to a study guide on the book of Revelation by Donald Schmidt of Kelowna, BC. Here is a help to the study of a biblical text that must not be ignored but which should be getting better treatment. Indeed, Revelation has suffered much abuse over the years, and that is mainly because of the ways it has been misunderstood.
The rest of my letter this week contains many interesting news items; thought-provoking articles and quotes.

To those of you reading this from the northern hemisphere I hope you are enjoying a relaxing summer. To all, I wish you good reading.

More material has probably been written about the
biblical book of Revelation than the rest of the Bible
combined – or at least it can seem that way. What’s

often have a passion that defies all logic.

Yet, when we set aside the nonsense and speculation,

they believed – all of which makes Revelation a perfect

people who inhabit them are all of those things:
fractured and frightened, uncertain of what the future
might hold, wondering if we should just give up.

Revelation… for Progressive Christians is a seven-
session study guide that invites readers to explore
Revelation as a fun, hope-filled book that contains
a lot of fanciful imagery and symbolic references,
to be sure, but that, at its core, offers words of
assurance and hope to the church and its people today.

Author's Words:
The book of Revelation is a powerful document that was
written a long time ago to express a powerful message.
Unfortunately, so many people have played with it,
interpreted it, and found in it the things they wanted to
find that it's a little difficult to "hear" the original text
through all the noise of interpretation.
Sometimes, it seems like more material has been written
about Revelation than about the rest of the Bible combined!
What's more, people who write or talk about Revelation do
so with a passion that defies all logic. They speak vividly
about plagues... and judgement, and the end of the world.
All impressive, but are they as dominant that many of those
people would have us believe?...
Whenever I have led study groups on Revelation in
progressive churches, they have been well attended.
People seem genuinely eager to know what this book is
"really" all about. When I led the study recently at my
church in Kelowna, British Columbia, we anticipated
about a dozen people, but over 30 showed up the first
week.
One of the attendees quipped, "I wonder if there would
be as many people here if Donald Trump hadn't been
elected."
We all laughed. But the comment says a lot about our
general perception of Revelation. We have all heard
stories about the end of the world, about some mythical
beast, or Antichrist with an odd number, about an abyss,
and about some people being chosen while others are
"left behind."
In this study, I invite you to think about the possible
meanings of Revelation within the context in which it
was written. In other words, what did it mean to the
first people who read it? And what might it mean for us
today?
When we set aside much of the nonsense and speculation
from the last several decades, we find a story of God's
presence with a fractured and frightened community,
with a church that had no idea about what the future
might hold, and with a people who wondered if it was
time to give up and abandon what they believed.
Against this reality, Revelation assures these people
that God will never abandon them... The overarching
message is about the presence of Christ as one who
will heal the problems of the earth and its peoples,
and who will offer a new age of inclusion.
In other words, Revelation is not about the end of the
world at some future date... It is possible to see
Revelation as a fun, hope-filled book... The bottom
line is that it was written at a time when it was
extremely dangerous to be a Christian... It was written
to provide hope and encouragement to people who
really needed it, and maybe it can still offer these
things today, as well as challenge us to reflect on how
we live now, as God's people.
...You will always be encouraged to think for yourself.
So don't be afraid of Revelation. Come with an open
mind and open heart, and listen to what God might be
saying to you.

My Thoughts:
Eight years ago, our Monday Night Study at St. David's focused
on Elaine Pagels' book "Revelations - Visions, Prophecy and
Politics in the Book of Revelation."
Eight years ago, our Monday Night Study at St. David's focused
on Elaine Pagels' book "Revelations - Visions, Prophecy and
Politics in the Book of Revelation."
The study was well attended, and it was particularly satisfying
to see that even when I was unable to be there to co-lead the
group (due to cancer surgery and recovery) there was a lot of
enthusiasm and participation.
(see the design of that study from our ACTS Study web page)
https://tinyurl.com/y9yl9hce
One lesson I learned from dropping in on the class when I could, was that Revelation is too good and important a book to ignore because of biblical literalists, noisy evangelists, and the havoc they sow!
The study guide is divided into an introduction and seven sessions, with several appendices explaining symbolic language and a helpful bibliography. There is a lot of good information contained in less than 100 pages.
This study can be adapted to small and larger group discussion, depending on circumstance.
To my mind, the greatest value of a book like this is that it serves to provide an intelligent and serious approach to a biblical text that has not been treated very well over the centuries, and especially the last several decades.

JUSTICE IS NOT BLIND FOR INDIGENOUS YOUTH
Globe and Mail,
July 5th, 2018
“To correct its unjust youth justice system, Canada must
shift responsibility for its philosophy and program delivery
to Indigenous professionals. Its ultimate vision should be
to have select institutions led by Indigenous professionals
in every region, with a mandate to decolonize and heal
Indigenous young offenders. This idea has been successful
in places such as New Zealand, fed up with high Indigenous
incarceration rates. When youth learn where they come from,
understand how and why colonization happened and how it
affects them today, and are supported in charting a better
path for themselves, they have more chances to break
cycles of crime.” - Max FineDay

BANFF DITCHED BIG-BANG FIREWORKS TO PROTECT
WILDLIFE ON CANADA DAY THIS YEAR
Globe and Mail,
July 2nd, 2018
This Canada Day, Banff, Alta., swapped fireworks for a quieter
pyrotechnics display (like you might see at a rock concert), so
as not to terrify the thousands of animals, wild and domestic,
that live in the area. Whether it’s birds, deer, horses, or
otherwise, there’s evidence that traditional fireworks displays
aren’t good for animals.
Low-noise fireworks are also gaining popularity elsewhere –
the Calgary zoo switched in 2012. Tesco, a British supermarket
chain, reported sales doubling as far back as 2009. Further,
quiet fireworks are actually more colourful. Forest critters
would say that’s a win-win for everyone.

From Sojourners and the Bruderhof onlne:
Be so very light. Be a gentle whisper.
- Bob Ross
--
These conversations are always so tense, so painful.
People are defensive. We want to believe we are good.
To face the racisms and prejudices we carry forces us
to recognize the ways in which we are imperfect. We
have to be willing to accept our imperfections and we
have to be willing to accept the imperfections of others.
Is that possible on the scale required for change?
- Roxane Gay
--
--
The healthy body is being constantly renewed. This is
just as true mentally and spiritually. There is so much in
God’s Word about renewal of life that it is strange that
any conscientious Christian would be afraid of change
in his outlook on life or even in his religious ideas. Of
course, the fear is that change would mean loss of faith,
but this is never true if the faith is in the living God and
not in one’s ideas of God. God never changes, but our
minds must be open to new knowledge or grow stagnant.
When we quit growing we begin to die. Renewal can
come to anyone at any time by turning to God in faith.
- Anna Mow
--
I ask all of you, dear brothers and sisters, to view these
things that are happening in our historical moment with
a spirit of hope, generosity, and sacrifice. And let us do
what we can. We can all do something and be more
understanding. If we illuminate with Christian hope our
intense longings for justice and peace and all that is good,
then we can be sure that no one dies forever. If we have
imbued our work with a sense of great faith, love of God,
and hope for humanity, then all our endeavors will lead
to the splendid crown that is the sure reward for the work
of sowing truth, justice, love, and goodness on earth.
Our work does not remain here; it is gathered and purified
by the Spirit of God and returned to us as a reward.
