Greetings, friends! It’s been another exciting year of putting faith, hope and love into action! The church has entered into a new quadrennium, and United Methodist Women has celebrated its first year of being a new agency in The United Methodist Church—building new relationships and rebuilding existing ones . It’s an exhilarating time to be part of this organization and a great time to invite others to participate too! In this year’s catalog, you’ll find every-member resources like the new handbook, Prayer Calendar and the United Methodist Women Bible . The 2013–2014 Program Book focuses on hearing—and answering—God’s call in your life, as does our spiritual growth study The Call: Living Sacramentally, Walking Justly . Being a disciple means both working to change the world and working with the Holy Spirit for change “in our inmost being”—together we are becoming whole persons through Jesus Christ . Our new e-store makes getting resources easier, and online ordering actually saves mission dollars—how’s that for a win-win? After browsing the catalog, I encourage you to visit www .umwmissionresources .org, and with a few clicks mission resources will be on their way to you! The resources you need to purchase as well as free promotional resources to help you tell others about United Methodist Women are all available there . You’ll want to have them on hand for your next United Methodist Women Sunday, fundraiser, event or meeting . How have you seen God at work in United Methodist Women? I look forward to seeing you at Assembly in April and to learning more about how United Methodist Women “Make It Happen!” Harriett Jane Olson General Secretary and CEO United Methodist Women

displacement and relocation from Biblical times to the present with the goal of helping young people ages 12 through 19 embrace the Christian legacy of acceptance. This study, written for leaders, comprises five two-hour sessions designed to engage, educate and inspire new thinking about the strangers in our midst. Using well-known parables such as the prodigal son and the good Samaritan, and the stories of popular biblical figures such as Ruth and Paul, Welcoming the Stranger examines common themes of hospitality, acceptance and even protection for outsiders. Building on the idea that everything old is new, Welcoming the Stranger introduces students to more modern stories of immigrants to the United States including Norwegians after the American Civil War and Mexicans in the present day. This study encourages young people to research, celebrate and share their own histories of migration and immigration, and to develop their own perspectives on this hot-button issue as it relates to their lives.

Deaconess Nazgul William 1968-2013

From the General Secretary

Helping create a vital church

he was known for her smile and vivacious love of life. Her laughter was infectious, and when she danced you couldn’t help but join her. Deaconess Nazgul William, “Naz” to her friends, dedicated her life to ministries of care and compassion and was looking forward to sharing what she had learned about women’s issues and gender inequality in Asia having just completed a two-month course in the Philippines. Her life abruptly ended July 17, 2013, in Beijing, China. While out for an afternoon walk near a shopping center, she was one of two people stabbed by a young man in what was reported as a random act of violence due to mental illness. She was visiting Beijing after attending the World Diakonia conference in Berlin, Germany. Born in Lahore, Pakistan, Ms. William became the first Pakistani deaconess of The United Methodist Church at her commissioning in 2005. From a young age she felt God’s call to dedicate her life to love, justice and service. Her call was affirmed through encounters she had with American missionaries to Pakistan and later in the relationships she built with deaconesses in the United States. Quoted in a 2006 issue of response magazine, Ms. William said of her call, “I wanted to do something until the day I die. In Pakistan, if you say to someone, ‘You are my brother or sister,’

then it’s for your lifetime.” Her deaconess ministries included working at the Brooks-Howell Home in Asheville, N.C., and translating materials from the United Methodist Women’s Bible Women Program into Urdu, the native language of Pakistan. Most recently, she was on a leave of absence from active service while she sought additional educational and professional development opportunities. She graduated from a twomonth intercultural course

on women and society at St. Scholastica College’s Institute of Women’s Studies in Manila, Philippines, in early June 2013. As a participant in this course, Ms. William learned about issues facing women in Asia and the Pacific and developed practical skills to address gender concerns on personal and organizational levels. She was looking forward to sharing her new skills and knowledge through workshops and volunteering with Chosen Ministry in

ately The United Methodist Church has been talking about “vitality.” As I’ve mentioned in this space before, a study prior to the 2012 General Conference found that vital congregations have strong lay leadership. In congregations characterized by growth, outreach and enthusiasm, more than 25 percent of members have held a leadership role in the past five years. United Methodist Women encourages leadership. How can we better ensure a place for all at the table? The study also found that vital congregations are characterized by small groups and by specialized ministry to children and youth. With our flexible configurations, circles and mission studies for children and youth, United Methodist Women already looks like this in many places. What can we do to deepen and broaden this part of our work? Worship in many styles exists among vital congregations, but most “specialize” and do one style particularly well. Our circles and local events could be distinguished by different spiritual practices as well as different gathering times and demographics. One circle may accompany a mission study with Taizé worship and another with contemporary Christian

music. Worship for general meetings can offer different styles in different years. What new styles can you try? In vital congregations laypersons tell their stories of how their faith has shaped them. I know that United Methodist Women members have stories to share—many of you have shared your stories with me. Do you also share these stories with your circles, units, districts and conferences? Why are you a member of United Methodist Women? Vital congregations include and value United Methodist Women. Vital United Methodist Women units support vital congregations. There is no need to be afraid to change and grow. Let’s experiment! That’s what vital congregations do! Harriett Jane Olson is general secretary and CEO of United Methodist Women.

눈이 뜨이고 마음이 열릴 수 있었습니다. —김영숙

표상(엠블럼) 연합감리교회 여선교회와 연합감리교회의 공식 표상(엠블럼)은 십자가와 불꽃으로 이루어져 있다. 십자가와 불꽃은 그리스도와 오순절을 뜻하는 오래된 상징이다. 표상의 자유롭고 유연한 흐름의 모양은 변화와 유동성을 나타낸다. “나는 그대를 일깨 워서... 그대가 받은 하나님의 은사를 다시금 불붙게 하고자 합니다.”(디모데후서 1:6, 표준새번역) 우리는 희생하고, 증거하며, 봉사하는 일을 유업으로 물려 받았다. 여선교회의 표상은 우리에게 이 유업을 지속할 기회와 책임이 있다는 것을 상기시켜 준다.

$11 .00 (RP4255) 작가는 2000년전 예수님을 직접 만나 인격적으로, 신앙적으로 그들의 삶에 큰 변화를 체험한 31명의 성서 인물들을 21세기로 초대한다. 요셉과 마리아, 삭게오, 사마리아 여인, 요한의 어머니 등등... 예수님과 이 31명의 성서 인물들의 만남과 대화, 그들의 영적인 성장을 21세기 현실과 언어로 재미있게 꾸며 놓았다. 현재를 극복하고 삶의 새 희망과 목표를 다시 찾아볼 수 있게 하는 색다른, 현대판 예수님과의 만남이다.

탐욕의 시대 장 지글러 • 갈라파고스 (2005) •362쪽

$21 .50 (RP4256) 약육강식의 자본주의 논리에 따라 편성된 세계 경제, 사회, 정치적 질서의 부조리 때문에 오늘의 세계는 자본주의 봉건사회가 되어 버리고, 빈부의 차는 더 악화되고 있다고 작가는 한탄한다. 세계 500대 다국적 기업들이 전 세계 총 생산력의 반 이상을 장악하고 있다. 현재 이 세계를 지배하는 약육강식의 질서를 파괴하고 이 세상에서 기근과 가난을 퇴치할 수 있는 것은 우리 시민들의 집단 의식의 단결에서 시작될 수 있다고 작가는 강조한다.

음식이 몸이다 이기영 • 살림 (2011) • 310쪽

$16 .00 (RP4254) 우리가 먹는 음식은 우리의 몸이 되는 것이다. 전통 음식을 연구하고 개발해 온 이기영 박사가 쓴 “음식이 몸이다”는 우리가 어떻게 건강한 삶을 살 수 있는지 과학적인 근거를 두고 쓴 권위 있는 책이다. 현대인들은 대량생산, 장기저장, 가공된 음식을 먹고 화려한 미사여구로 유혹하는 과대 광고에 휩쓸려 좋은 음식을 분별하기 어려운 시대에 살고 있다. 이 책은 우리가 다시 회복해야 할 건강한 삶을 위한 좋은 음식을 소개하고 있으며 가족의 건강을 지킬 수 있는 참살이 바이블이 될 수 있는 책이다.

8년의 동행 미치 앨봄 • 살림 (2010) • 351쪽

$13 .00 (RP4252) 저자는 자기의 두 인생 스승, 즉 유대교의 랍비와 흑인 목사님으로부터 얻은 삶의 교훈으로 우리의 영혼을 감동시킨다. 랍비와 목사님은 다 하나님의 사람이지만, 그들의 신앙의 배경, 삶의 모습은 전혀 다르다. 단 한가지, 둘다 “믿음”의 공통분모를 갖고 있다는 것이다. 이 두 사람의 삶의 실제 이야기를 통하여 우리 인생에서 중요한 것들을 독자로 하여금 다시 생각해 보게 하는 책이다. 삶이란? 죽음이란? 행복이란 과연 무엇일까? 신앙이 오히려 우리들을 분열 시키는 사회에서 살고 있는 현대인에게 다른 신앙을 가진 사람들과도 공존할 수 있는 희망을 주는 책이기도 하다.

하늘의 특별 검사 김인호 • 규장 (2011) • 237쪽

$14 .00 (RP4253) 검사라는 직업은 세상 많은 사람들의 선망의 대상이다. 이러한 유망한 장래를 포기하고 하나님의 나라를 넓혀가는 “하늘의 바보 검사”가 된 김인호 장로는 2만이 넘는 영혼을 하나님께로 인도한다. 는 예수 그리스도의 사랑 때문에 섬김과 순종의 삶을 통하여 세상에서 가장 행복한 기도의 검사가 된 작가의 감명 깊은 신앙 간증집이다.
