The Presbytery's Day Trip to Gallup, "Continuing the Conversation on the Doctrine of Discovery," took place on Saturday, May 18.
Forty-seven participants from six Presbyterian churches, the Synod of the Southwest, and Ghost Ranch listened to bold and challenging words from our keynote speaker, Mark Charles, who spoke the truth with love.
In the afternoon, some participants visited Zuni Pueblo (pictured above), while others took a field trip to a uranium mine spill site that still threatens the health of nearby residents.
If you were not able to attend, you can hear an audio recording of the sermon on May 19 at Westminster Presbyterian Church (Gallup). You can also view presentations similar to those Mark Charles gave over the weekend in Gallup at his website.

The Coordinating Team of Santa Fe Presbytery has tasked the Mission Networking Committee with helping the Presbytery continue the conversation about the Doctrine of Discovery (also known as the Doctrine of Christian Domination) that was begun at the October 2018 Presbytery meeting. To that end, we have produced this annotated list of resources that we recommend to congregations for study by sessions, PW groups, adult Christian education classes, and book groups.
The 223rd General Assembly (2018) of the PC(USA) urged “the session of each congregation, as well as each mid council, COTE-member seminaries, Presbyterian Women’s groups, and other organizations to confess their complicity and repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery.”
Second Presbyterian Church (Albuquerque) has already taken action:
“The Session of Second repudiates the Doctrine of Discovery. We confess our complicity in the injustice of the Doctrine and promise to: (1) educate our congregation on the history and implications of the Doctrine; (2) work with higher councils to reinforce proliferation of repudiation to other Sessions and higher councils; and (3) cultivate relationships with Native American individuals and tribes, and especially Native American congregations.”
We encourage sessions to consider taking similar action, and we especially recommend the following four resources for their study of the Doctrine of Discovery:
From Jane Stringfellow
Welcome to a wintery white 2019! The blanket of white all around the Stringfellow house in Santa Fe is beautiful when the sun shines on the snow-covered trees and bushes making them sparkle. It's a blessed and joyful scene, one that I pray will mirror the Presbytery of Santa Fe throughout the coming year. With this introduction, I want to share with you the 2019 theme of our presbytery.
The theme is based on Isaiah 60: 1 - 2
“First Presbyterian Church of Santa Fe Reverend Andrew Black delivered the opening prayer today to kick off the New Mexico Legislature. Black, pictured on the floor of House of Representatives, prayed for lawmakers and called on them to be visionary, bold, innovative and courageous as they tackle the challenges of climate change and caring for the kids and families of New Mexico.”

In July 2019, the Presbytery of Santa Fe will be sending a delegation of 41 youth and 7 brave youth leaders to Purdue University in Indiana for the Presbyterian Youth Triennium - including a week of fellowship, worship, and fun!
Ten churches from throughout the Presbytery will be sending youth and/or sponsors to this event. Here are a few excerpts from their applications:
Why do you want to go to Triennium?
What kind of impact might Triennium have on you? On your church?
If you would like to support youth going to Triennium, you can make a contribution to the Triennium fund through the Presbytery office or donating online (memo 'Triennium').
Please contact Luke Rembold at if you have any concerns or questions.
The Presbytery Youth Retreat at Shepherd of the Valley was a great success. Thirty youth from seven different churches came for a weekend of fun and learning with the
Austin College ACtivators!
Thanks to Shepherd of the Valley Presbyterian Church for hosting, especially to Jason and Priscilla Belvin for their work on the food for the weekend, and Shelton Caldwell for his hospitality and preparation of space around the church.
