New Manual reflects latest assembly changesThe 2017-2021 Manual of the Church of the Nazarene became effective 1 December 2017, marking the first time an electronic version of the Manual was considered the official version.A traditional, printed version is on track for publication by May as a sales item from Nazarene Publishing House. The red-line PDF version will be available shortly.
Included in the new Manual are key edits on various topics such as the denomination's Articles of Faith, the Church of the Nazarene's statement on Human Sexuality and Marriage, and the outlined process of clergy restoration.
Direct links to changes are provided below for the following topics:
- Articles of Faith
- Articles of Faith: reasons for changes Note: In the electronic Manual, additions to paragraphs in the Constitution section are listed in italics and deletions are in [brackets].
- Human Sexuality and Marriage
- Human Sexuality and Marriage: reasons for changes
- Clergy Restoration Clergy Restoration: reasons for changes (see 535-567)
In June 2017, the General Assembly commissioned the Manual Editing Committee to work on all resolutions that were adopted (or amended and adopted) by the Assembly. According to Manual par. 909, specific legislative language and updates (new or revised) are not deemed “official” until this committee’s assignment has been completed, which was November 2017. Legislation affecting the Manual is now applicable.
A section of the General Assembly website, ga2017.com/resolutions, provided access to resolutions for General Assembly delegates and the general public prior to and during the 2017 General Assembly. This section is still available to anyone who wishes to access it, and no log-in is required.
The page contains folders for each of the original resolutions submitted to the General Assembly (available in English, French, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish). A Calendar of Resolutions was posted to this site in August 2017 identifying the specific action (adopted, amended and adopted, rejected, or referred) taken for each resolution by the 2017 General Assembly. The resolutions are organized into separate folders by committees according to each resolution code.
The electronic version of the new Manual in English is accessible via nazarene.org/manual or by going directly to its website. More information will be provided as other translations (electronic and printed) are completed.

Board of General Superintendents affirms Manual statement on discriminationBroad attention has focused in recent days in the United States of America, as well as other nations of the world, on issues of discrimination, race relations, and the inherent value of every person as created in the image of God. We want to remind Nazarenes around the world as well as everyone concerned about these matters of the following statement included in our denominational Manual, as affirmed by our General Assembly:
915 Discrimination: “The Church of the Nazarene reiterates its historic position of Christian compassion for people of all races. We believe that God is the Creator of all people, and that of one blood are all people created.
“We believe that each individual, regardless of race, color, gender, or creed, should have equality before law, including the right to vote, equal access to educational opportunities, to all public facilities, and to the equal opportunity, according to one’s ability, to earn a living free from any job or economic discrimination.
“We urge our churches everywhere to continue and strengthen programs of education to promote racial understanding and harmony. We also feel that the scriptural admonition of Hebrews 12:14 (Hebrews 12:14 Keep pursuing shalom with everyone and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.) should guide the actions of our people. We urge that each member of the Church of the Nazarene humbly examine his or her personal attitudes and actions toward others, as a first step in achieving the Christian goal of full participation by all in the life of the church and the entire community.
“We reemphasize our belief that holiness of heart and life is the basis for right living. We believe that Christian charity between racial groups or gender will come when the hearts of people have been changed by complete submission to Jesus Christ, and that the essence of true Christianity consists in loving God with one’s heart, soul, mind, and strength, and one’s neighbor as oneself.
“Therefore, we renounce any form of racial and ethnic indifference, exclusion, subjugation, or oppression as a grave sin against God and our fellow human beings. We lament the legacy of every form of racism throughout the world, and we seek to confront that legacy through repentance, reconciliation, and biblical justice. We seek to repent of every behavior in which we have been overtly or covertly complicit with the sin of racism, both past and present; and in confession and lament we seek forgiveness and reconciliation.
“Further, we acknowledge that there is no reconciliation apart from human struggle to stand against and to overcome all personal, institutional and structural prejudice responsible for racial and ethnic humiliation and oppression. We call upon Nazarenes everywhere to identify and seek to remove acts and structures of prejudice, to facilitate occasions for seeking forgiveness and reconciliation, and to take action toward empowering those who have been marginalized.” (2017-21 Manual, Church of the Nazarene) (Board of General Superintendents)

Relief for Rohingya refugees in BangladeshAsia*, a 60-year-old Rohingya woman who fled violence against her people in Myanmar, could not sleep at night in the refugee camp in Bangladesh because she was so cold.On 8 December, Bangladeshi Nazarenes representing Nazarene Compassionate Ministries traveled to a Rohingya refugee camp in a place known as Cox’s Bazar, which the United Nations has reported is now home to the densest refugee population in the world. In this part of Bangladesh, the Church of the Nazarene does not yet have a presence.
Nazarenes received specific information about the refugees’ needs from international organizations that had already conducted assessments. With permission from local authorities, they then distributed nonperishable food items. They also provided packages that contained two mosquito nets, two blankets, and a sleeping mat.
“Today I got two blankets and some other things,” Asia said. “It will remove cold, and I could sleep at night properly.”
Asia fled Myanmar with four sons and two daughters. She said that her fifth son was killed when the persecutions started there in August.
“I escaped from my birth land, Myanmar, to save my life with others," she said. "I walked three days and reached this camp. I could not bring any clothes with me.”
Asia and her family are currently living in a shack constructed of sheets of tin.
Myanmar is the home for an estimated 1 million Rohingya people, an ethnic Muslim minority within the majority Buddhist country. For decades, Rohingya have been fleeing Myanmar, which denies them citizenship, according to the BBC.However, Bangladesh, where more than 800,000 Rohinyga are now refugees, is ill-equipped to care for them, according to one local NCM worker*. A deeply impoverished and densely populated country, Bangladesh suffers repeated disasters, such as widespread flooding and tropical storms.
Bangladesh NCM is currently focused on emergency response, but also is developing plans for a long-term project to specifically support the most vulnerable — women and children. For instance, they would like to establish a “child-friendly space” and a counseling center.
Although Myanmar officially welcomed the refugees to return and refugees desperately wish to go home, many are too afraid to go back. And many have nowhere to return to — homes, fields, and villages were burned to the ground.
“Many young women would not like to return home,” the NCM worker said. Homes were set on fire and women were raped. “They think Myanmar is not a safe place for them…. Thousands of Rohingya lost their life in the conflict.”
Sufia*, a 35-year-old woman, told an NCM worker that “They torched the village, killed the men, and raped the women and girls.”
With four children of her own, all under the age of 15, Sufia fled alone; her husband was killed in front of her eyes.
The NCM worker reported that her children appeared malnourished, although the nongovernmental agencies had distributed food.Sufia was particularly grateful for the mosquito nets she received from NCM as there are many mosquitoes in the camp.
The refugee camps carry risks greater than disease-carrying mosquitoes.
“Around 1,000 Rohingya women and children already have been trafficked,” the NCM worker said, citing a local newspaper report. “We felt sorry by hearing their misery stories. We think, they are our neighbors and we should help them as the Holy Bible teaches us.”

Fort Wayne, Indiana
Small church takes on ‘giant’ challenges in Indiana by Kara Hackett for Input Fort Wayne
Mondragon runs Many Nations Church and Bridge of Grace Compassionate Ministries Center at 5100 Gaywood Dr.
The first time Pastor Javier Mondragon read about the broken windows theory was in 2006, in a book by Malcolm Gladwell.
The first time he experienced it was as a gang member at age 12, growing up in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, just south of Mexico City, in the early 90s.
"It was the most neglected area in the city, just like southeast Fort Wayne is here,” Mondragon recalls.
Looking back, he remembers walking outside his family home, seeing everything falling apart in his neighborhood with broken windows and blighted houses, and he internalized that feeling.
“I remember thinking: This is who I am. I have no future. I am hopeless.”
To some extent, it’s something we all do — looking at our surroundings, and seeing them as part of who we are, what we’re worth, and what’s expected of us. The places we live shape us, and we shape them in return.
“I saw the broken windows, and it made me feel like, ‘Yeah, that’s me.’ So I broke more windows because nobody cared,” Mondragon remembers.

“I saw the broken windows, and it made me feel like, ‘Yeah, that’s me.’ So I broke more windows because nobody cared,” Mondragon remembers.
Mondragon and a community volunteer outside of a model home Bridge of Grace help renovate at 1045 E. Fairfax Ave.Today, 25 years later, he's pastor of Many Nations Church and founder of the nonprofit Bridge of Grace Compassionate Ministries Center on Fort Wayne’s southeast side, living and working in the Mount Vernon Park neighborhood only 10 minutes from downtown.
Here, 57.4 percent of residents earn $25,000 or less per year, 89 percent are people of color, and 46 percent are under age 25. So as a boy who grew up poor in Mexico, Mondragon sees himself in his surroundings again, and this time, he's working to be part of the change — fixing broken windows, rebuilding broken houses, restoring broken lives.
“If you fix something, that’s a signal to people that you care,” Mondragon says.
When he moved into the neighborhood in 2008, he started cleaning up the area with his church’s Adopt a Block program, collecting trash along the streets, mowing lawns, and mulching. Then in 2011, Mondragon established Bridge of Grace as a nonprofit organization, so the church could take on bigger projects.
Working with the City of Fort Wayne and Allen County, as well as other local churches and sponsors, Bridge of Grace bought and restored five blighted houses in Mount Vernon Park, not including Mondragon’s own. Now, they’re in the process of selling those houses back to community members, and their work is far from finished.
They own five more houses that they are waiting for the time and resources to fix up, but the challenges of poverty, segregation, and violence continue.
In 2013, a shooting broke out two doors down from Mondragon’s house. But while crime — or the perceived danger of it — might have scared some away, it gave him more reason to press in.
A fan of Gladwell, he talks excitedly about another one of his books, David and Goliath, a story about underdogs, like the Bible story where the boy took down a giant with only a slingshot.
Mondragon thinks it holds a strong comparison to Bridge of Grace’s work in southeast Fort Wayne.
If you want, you can see it as the story of a small church with few resources up against a giant list of challenges.
“But if you look at the weaknesses and the strengths," Mondragon says. "And if you convert those weaknesses to opportunities, the challenges become an opportunity,”
What if an entire city — an entire region — thought like that? What if people saw challenges as opportunities, and decided to tell a better story? (Republished with permission from Input Fort Wayne)
Flags of the Nations: Guatemala EspañolThe two sky blue stripes represent the fact that Guatemala is a land located between two oceans, the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and the sky over the country. The white color signifies peace and purity. In the center of the flag is the Guatemalan coat of arms. It includes the resplendent quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala, which symbolizes liberty; a parchment scroll bearing the date of Central America's independence from Spain, 15 September 1821; crossed rifles, indicating Guatemala's willingness to defend itself by force if need be; a bay laurel crown, the symbol for victory; and crossed swords, representing honor. Since September 1, 2009, the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag each week of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.
This week: Guatemala
The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Guatemala in 1904.
Guatemala had a population of 15,460,732 in 2017. That same year, Guatemala reported 753 Churches of the Nazarene, 655 of which had been officially organized. Guatemala has 93,000 total members.
Located on the Mesoamerica Region, Guatemala has 12 Phase 3 districts and four Phase 2 districts. For more information about the Mesoamerica Region, visit mesoamericaregion.org.
* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.
The Global Ministry Center is the mission and service hub of the Church of the Nazarene.

Valparaiso, Indiana
ValpoLife.com photo
(ValpoLife, 12 January) Two years ago when Shawn Evans, a pastor at Valpo Nazarene Church, began a breakfast tradition with his son and some of his friends, he never thought it would grow to be a safe haven for 30 to 40 other student athletes.
It all started with Valparaiso High School’s late-start Wednesdays, giving Evans and the group of young men some morning meet-up time at Schoops.
“They would talk about their day, or their week and just what was on their minds,” Evans said. “I’d end the last ten minutes with some Biblical truth, to help them know they’re not alone, and give some encouragement. It started out with eight, and then a lot of athletes started showing up.”
