Excerpt from Behaviour of Pastors in the Church of the Living God: A Sermon, Preached in Forres, Before the Provincial Synod of Moray, at Their Annual Meeting, April 24, 1845 I. The position in which the Pastors in the Church are placed. The Church of Christ 1s necessarily divided into sections, from the very circumstances in which mankind are placed in this world - separated from each other by oceans, climates, and languages. Thus they are divided from each other by the limits which mark out the several nations of men. This sectional division is no more Opposed to the unity of the Church, than the division into provinces and families is destructive of a kingdom's unity. There are also divi sions which have been produced by causes connected with the spiritual part of man. As long as all men are not pos sessed of the same grasp of intellect, matters which appear quite manifest to some will not appear so to others. Thus, men holding the Head, and agreeing in the great outline of revealed truth, may be divided from one another by their different views on various subjects. This class of sectional divi sions do, after all, no more destroy the unity of the Church than the inequalities and seeming oppositions in the external world interfere with the unity of its system and design. Pastors of churches would do well to remember that, if sent forth by Christ to his harvest, they stand in immediate rela tion to the whole of that Church, which He bought with His sacred blood. It is in this view that Paul describes the position of Timothy, in language applicable only to the universal Church.

The First and Second Books of Discipline were amongst the constitutional foundation documents of the Scottish Reformation, and for four and a half centuries have been relied on to guide the polity of Presbyterian churches around the world. Their scholarly editing and publication a generation ago helped to revive serious study in the Church's constitutional law; and this reprint makes very important material available in a time of immense organisational change in the Church.

The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
To young Christians of the world, Pope Francis has a message for you: "Christ is alive, and he wants you to be alive!" In his fourth apostolic exhortation, Christus Vivit, Pope Francis encapsulates the work of the 2018 synod of bishops on "Young People, The Faith, and Vocational Discernment." Pope Francis has always had a special relationship with young people, and in his fatherly love for you he shows that: You can relate to young people in Scripture who made a difference You identify with the Christ who is always young You face difficult issues in the world today You yearn for the truth of the Gospel You are capable of amazing things when you respond to the Gospel You learn and grow with help from the faithful of all generations You need bold and creative youth ministry You can discover who God made you to be You are urged to pray for discernment Christus Vivit is written for and to young people, but Pope Francis also wrote it for the entire Church, because, as he says, reflecting on our young people inspires us all. "May the Holy Spirit urge you on as you run this race. The Church needs your momentum, your intuitions, your faith. We need them! And when you arrive where we have not yet reached, have the patience to wait for us."
