Every concerned Baptist felt the pain over this unnecessary, even hostile division. But this is history now and we cannot change that. Thank the Lord, there is a movement toward reconciliation. Let us hope and pray that peace and unity will be achieved. It is realized that the structure of our Hungarian Baptist churches went through a great change. Most of the members of the Hungarian Baptist churches came to this country since 1980, and they do not know why the split happened. This means that they do not have any injured feeling, and they are ready to work in peace with all Hungarian Baptist brethren. The Lord Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount said: “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” (Matt. 5:9). If the peacemakers are blessed, and are the children of God, who and what are the split-makers? The one who is not blessed is he cursed, and the one who is not a child of God — whose child is he? The words of our Lord cut deep into our hearts and extoll not only the joy of being blessed, but warn us about grieviousness of the lack of blessedness. We should be peacemakers if not for love of peace, at least for the fear of what the lack of blessing means, and of the possibility of not being children of God. Through the ages, through the history of mankind, wars were fought by men. It may be God’s plan that peacemaking is reserved for women. If it is so, we women have a glorious task to perform. Peace originated in the hearts can radiate to both the unconcerned and hostile hearts.

The peacemaking women should endeavor to help to hasten to reach the blessed peace in our Hungarian Baptist Zion. Peace should reign in the heart; it should rule in the family; it should be permanent The Rev. Robert W.

Christian women should be constantly aware of their possibilities, anxious to gain the blessing and strive earnestly to become the children of God. There is a great prospect for us! Men can make war — and peace too. Women are not soldiers, their lot is peacemaking, and their reward is great. Ruby Udvarnoki Christian ministry. His brother, the Rev.

HÍREK Bécs: Szakadás történt az osztrák fővárosban lévő Mollardgasse-i baptista gyülekezetben, mivel a tagság 50%-a a Bibliát olyan könyvnek tartja, ami az Isten Igéjét is tartalmazza. Gerhard Stach német prédikátor emiatt azzal a csoporttal távozott a helyi imaházból, amelyik a Bibliát teljesen az Isten Igéjének tekinti. A kis csoport most a Reschgasse 24-26 szám alatti helységben tart istentiszteleteket. * Üjvidék: 12000 magyar menekült ki Erdélyből 1988-ban közölte magyarnyelvű híreiben december 10-én a Radio Novi Sad. * New York: Az Amerikai Bibliatársaság jelenti, hogy az a szám, amelyen a teljes Biblia, vagy valamelyik könyve különböző fordításában (nyelven) megjelent elérte az 1,907-et 1988-ban.
