Our Life Together Vol. 4 Nr. 6 February 10, 1976

This is another nice example of the artwork by Abba Graphics.

David Bishop was (and still is) a very interesting person. He is still alive and well, living in England. At the time of his visit with us he was the rector of the Anglican Church in Oxford England. He was a very "proper" Englishman. He discusses some of the difficulty that he had while he and his wife, Elizabeth, were with us, but there was also a lot of joy. I really appreciated his friendship. I also appreciated his defense of our community. He appeared at the City Council meetings letting the authorities know who much our community had impacted people internationally. I would love to see David again.

I will just say a word about the prophecy; they appear in several issues. We did not then, nor do we now give them the same weight as scripture, but they were important words which we believed came from the Lord. We wanted to write them up so that people could see them and think about them.

This is just a note from Tim regarding the posting of McFoone. The idea of a "comic strip" was very new to our church newsletter.

Of course this is McFoone. Tim introduces the character who will provide authoritative teaching, Ebenezer Elder.

This is another of our examples of the artwork of our children. We had many children. AbbaGraphics was very good in working with the children and helping them with art. We liked to celebrate our children in the church, the community and Our Life Together.

I found the article on Martin Luther written by Randy Hasper to be interesting. Randy was a very bright young man in our community. He did a lot of teaching and writing. He left the church in the early 80's and became a co-pastor the Evangelical Free church in town (now Paseo Del Rey church). He has since come full circle; he is the current pastor of FBCCV. He is doing a great job in leading the church in renewal and growth.

I do not remember Frances Roberts; was she/he a member at FBCCV or someone outside our fellowship? I do remember that "Come Away My Beloved" was widely read in the church.
