Spring is in the air and it is time for another General Assembly…<\/p>\n

Of course, if it is Spring the Assembly would be in the Southern Hemisphere, and so we look forward to the convening of General Assembly 2010<\/a> of the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand<\/a> at St. Andrew’s College<\/a> in Christchurch in just a few hours.  It will conclude this Sunday October 3.<\/p>\n

The theme of the Assembly is “Making Disciple-Making Disciples<\/a>,” a topic chosen by the incoming Moderator, the Rev. Peter Cheyne<\/a>.  As Rev. Cheyne says in the press release announcing the theme<\/a> \u201cIt is about making disciples who become sufficiently mature to then make another generation of disciples.\u201d  There is a booklet available on-line<\/a> that will be used at the Assembly for six small-group Bible study discussion sessions on the topic.  Rev. Cheyne has started blogging<\/a>, including a reflection on this topic<\/a>.  (From a technical perspective it appears that the RSS feed is for the whole church web site and there is not one specific to his blog.)<\/p>\n

So, for those GA Junkies playing along at home here is what you need to know:<\/p>\n
