Highlights of February, 2011

February is the month of hearts, the season of love. Regarding SHEC’s Kingdom mission, it is remarkable to note that the word love, biblically speaking, is practically synonymous with compassion, which, in the prophetic tradition and in the preaching and praxis of Jesus, always goes with justice and truth (or faithfulness) forming a tripartite concept that connotes the contemporary notion of social justice. It is fitting and proper therefore to celebrate Love Month at SHEC, keeping in mind (and heart) the Kingdom missi
on, especially its aspect on social justice.

All is well that ends well. It is hoped that a new beginning emerges and proceeds to be well also.
