→Ichthus April 2018: new section Tag: |

Line 66:
This section really doesn't belong with the article, to be frankly honest. The group of "Amish" that was involved in this are a very, very tiny group of people that may have grown up Amish, but are not in the mainstream of Amish any more. Just because someone was born Amish does not make them "Amish" forever, if they change their way of life and thinking. Probably 99% of Amish know nothing about this supposed "reconciliation" and would not feel that these types of "reconciliation" meetings really accomplish anything tangible, for events that happened two centuries ago. I would like comments on the proposal to eliminate the section.

Belated Happy Easter and Kalo Pascha! We're excited to announce the return of our newsletter ''Ichthus''! Getting this issue out was [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive980#Taking_a_position_on_whether_Billy_Graham%27s_death_was_a_%22profound_loss%22|touch-and-go]] for a while. Check out what's happening at the Project:
* There was a [[Template:Did you know nominations/Christ the Lord Is Risen Today|lively discussion]] about the Easter Did You Know nomination Christ the Lord is Risen Today
* [[Talk:Knights_of_Columbus#RfC_on_the_Lead_section|RFC at Knights of Columbus]] regarding a question about having Prop 8 in the lead
* In anticipation of being nominated for Featured article, Presbyterian Church in the United States of America was [[Wikipedia:Peer_review/Presbyterian_Church_in_the_United_States_of_America/archive1|put up for Peer Review]] by [[User:Ltwin|Ltwin]]
* The death of Billy Graham on February 21 was a profound loss for many. For the Wikipedia reaction see [[Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/February_2018#[Posted]_Billy_Graham|this discussion]]. Graham received a blurb.
* And... Order of Friars Minor--nominated by [[User:Chicbyaccident|Chicbyaccident]]--is still [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Order_of_Friars_Minor/GA1&action=edit&preload=Template:GAN/preload&editintro=Template:GAN/editintro waiting for a GA reviewer]. Please help out if you can.

'''[[Jesus]]''' (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of [[Christianity]], whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the [[Son of God]] and the awaited [[Messiah]] of the [[Old Testament]]. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a [[historical Jesus]] existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the [[gospel|gospel narratives]] and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by [[John the Baptist]], and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, [[Pontius Pilate]]. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by the [[Holy Spirit]], [[Virgin birth of Jesus|born of a virgin]], performed [[Miracles of Jesus|miracles]], founded the Church, [[Crucifixion of Jesus|died by crucifixion]] as a sacrifice to achieve [[Atonement in Christianity|atonement]], [[Resurrection of Jesus|rose from the dead]], and [[Ascension of Jesus|ascended]] into heaven, from which [[Second Coming|he will return]]. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a [[Divine Trinity]]. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. [[Jesus in Islam|In Islam]], Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. {{TFAFULL|Jesus}}
