The EDen Report —
What's in a name?
A general call was put out for name
suggestions for the newsletter. Several people responded with variations
on ED or EDEN. Of these, The EDen Report was selected as our new
moniker. District President Paul Zabel explained the rationale behind
the new name. In Joshua 22:34 we read: “And the children of Reuben
and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness
between us that the Lord is God.” (KJV). In this verse the reason
for the altar that Joshua had built on the west side of the Jordan is
given. It was to be a witness to the Lord and to the union that existed
among the tribes of the Children of Israel in worshipping Him. It was
also to serve as a reminder to the easterners to bring their offerings
to the sanctuary at Shiloh and to remind the westerners that their
eastern brothers were full-fledged Israelites. This being the case, what
an appropriate name “The EDen Report” is, with the letters
“ED” of the word “Eden” highlighted – for
the new name of the newly established East District Newsletter. For this
newsletter is intended to serve the East District by helping the members
of the East District congregations and others as well, to be informed of
how the churches of the East District are united in worshipping,
serving, and witnessing to our Lord and our God – that God who has
created us, who has redeemed us from our sin, and who has sanctified us
to be His own.
