Letter To The Editor: IHM Initiates Feasibility Survey

by

By Rev. Glenn Jones
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Los Alamos

Our community is unique in that so many people come from all over northern New Mexico to work here at LANL—from Chama to Belen and beyond. One of the things lacking in our community is a Christian-based school, which parents might opt to utilize should they feel moved to do so. 

Not infrequently, parents—Catholic and not—have queried us as to whether we might one day start a school here at IHM for this purpose.

This letter is to inform parents and our extended community that IHM has initiated a feasibility survey in which Read More

Pastor Raul Granillo: We Are Christian

by

By PASTOR RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos 

The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. (NIV, Acts 11:26)

In the Nazarene Church, one of our core values is that we are a Christian church. Let me be clear to begin with, there are many Christian churches that bring many beautiful, and distinctive characteristics to God’s Church. We have differences, but we are bound by some common beliefs that make us Christian. So, what is a Christian?

The short answer is simply that a Christian is a person who puts their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. This sounds like the obvious answer, but it demands that Read More

Pastor Raul Granillo: The Love Of Hate

by

By PASTOR RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos  

Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs. Proverbs 10:12 (NIV).

I doubt that there are many people who argue with this Proverb. In general, we agree that hatred is bad and love is good. So why do we see so many acts of hatred, not just from terrorists or white supremacists, but from everyday people, including ourselves?

We see hatred while we drive, when we watch the news, when we go to a little league game; even in our churches and in our own homes. Why is it so difficult for us to escape hatred? Perhaps it’s because of how much we welcome it.
