Our newsletter, available in pdf below, is entitled "La Retama". This bright yellow flower grows abundantly throughout the Peruvian Andes. Its deep roots make the bush extremely difficult to uproot. And even if you could, so effective is the bush's seed production that the next season, a hundred more retama bushes would sprout up. The retama flower was soon transformed into a symbol of indigenous resistance to the Spanish Conquest and is mentioned in many popular ballads and poetry. As Peruvian and North American churches and communities, illuminated by their shared Christian spirituality, join together to create an alternative community to the pressing currents of globalization (Romans 12:1-2), we propose to keep you informed of our progress and struggles in this newsletter.
