'''Contest of the month'''<br>
We currently have a remarkable lack of Wikipedia:Wikipedia-Books ↗. Right now, :Category:Wikipedia books on Christianity ↗ contains only 12 books. We certainly could have at least one book on each major grouping within Christianity. One of the challenges for this month, then, is working to put together books on relevant topics. For this month, one contest is for editors to assemble the basic Wikipedia books for each of the main topics of the extant related projects. When finished, they should their creation of the books at the main Christianity noticeboard ↗, and at the end of the month the project will award barnstars to those who have made a significant efforts in developing this underdeveloped content.

Also this month, we are going to have have a challenge to create and improve some of our more important missing or low-quality articles. Last month's challenge articles were Karl Beth ↗ and Nerses IV the Gracious ↗. Both articles are currently candidates for the DYK section of the main page ↗. This month's challenge articles are the Stub-class article James Hastings ↗ and the not yet started Rudolf Sohm ↗, A barnstar will be awarded to any editor who can get these articles up to DYK quality level ↗ and ultimately selected for the DYK section of the main page.

'''Calendar'''<br>

As some of you may have seen, the Simple English Wikipedia ↗ has been experiencing some difficulties lately. This particular entity could be of great value to several individuals who are trying to learn English. As some of you who do speak foreign languages know, one of the most easily available, and, in general, useful learning aids for people is a text they know already, which allows them to focus on the specific words of the new language. Various recorded readings and translations of the Bible ↗ are among the best examples of this. Any efforts to try to enhance this vital means of informing a large segment of our readership is more than welcome. People interested in helping develop it are encouraged to leave a note regarding their specific articles of interest at the Christianity noticeboard ↗. It would be wonderful if we could report some significant contributions to this sister site next month. And, of course, if we do have something to report, those involved would receive our greatest thanks.

WikiProject Calvinism ↗ is one of our more important subprojects. It is specifically devoted to developing content relating to the Calvinist tradition, and the primary point for development of content relating to the Pilgrims ↗, Presbyterians ↗, Reformed churches ↗, Congregational church ↗, Reformed Baptists ↗, and Low church ↗. We definitely encourage everyone to do what they can to help this project develop the content relating to this extremely important Christian tradition.

'''I believe'''<br>
... that human nature is insufficient for salvation, and the grace of God is required to do so. I believe that God has preordained who will and will not achieve salvation. I believe that Jesus's atonement was sufficient for the purposes for which it was done. I believe that God's grace is of such power that it can overcome any person's resistance. I believe that those whom God has chosen for salvation will, by the undeniable power of God, persevere in God's grace. I am a Calvinist ↗.

WikiProject Holidays/Christmas task force ↗ is the group whose purpose is to help develop the content related to the Christmas season, including Advent, New Year's, and related holidays. As many of us know, in several parts of the world, including the United States, the Christmas season is not only the time of one of the greatest holidays of the Christian liturgical year, but it is also the "make or break" time for many retailers, whose profitability for the year often depends on their success in this time of the giving of sometimes significantly expensive gifts. In other parts of the world, the winter solstice period and sometimes specifically Christmas itself means something that might surprise many Christians, like the Christmas in Japan ↗, where Christmas is one of the times hotels receive the greatest number of, often unmarried, couples staying there for the night. The solstice season is also significant to several other religions. Many of these days are also legal holidays in several places. In Belarus, for instance, both the Western and Eastern Christmas commemorations are legal holidays. We would certainly welcome the members of this project to donate some of their time and talents in the upcoming months to improving this significant content.

'''From the Editor'''<br>
left|50px ↗Since its formation in 2006, WikiProject Christianity has come a long way. A significant number of new articles have appeared on a wide range of topics, and the quality of some key articles has seen dramatic improvement. Yet, by the very nature of the open, crowd-sourced ↗ development environment in which we operate, as the number of pages in the project has increased at times our attention has been naturally diluted. We should of course strive for quality everywhere, but we should remember that this newsletter is called Ichthus ↗.

Starting this month we will start a "Focus on" series, where we will try to "bring Jesus back" and focus on him. For five consecutive issues we will focus on one aspect of the study of Jesus. The goal of this series is to inform our members of what the project contains and highlight those articles which have reached quality and stability.

From this month until November we will focus on the historical Jesus, a topic which has been the subject of much discussion on article talk pages, as well as the general media. This is an important topic, and we have a good set of well referenced articles on that now. Then, starting in December we will focus on Christ, and the spiritual and theological elements that the title entails. Following that the review of the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament, his miracles, and parables will take place. And each month the "Bookshelf" will mention a book that fits the theme of the month.

We hope you will enjoy this journey as we present a new aspect of Jesus each month. And given that as the number of project pages increases, the ratio of those watching the pages declines, we hope that more of you will watch some of these central pages that help define this project.

'''Church of the month'''<br>

The current building of All Saints' Church, Winthorpe ↗ in Nottinghamshire ↗, England which was completed in 1888, is at least the third version of the church, which dates back to at least the early 13th century.

'''Good articles and DYKs'''<br>
The article Jesus ↗ received the good article ↗ mark last month, as did Cleeve Abbey ↗. A number of churches were featured on the main page in the DYK ↗ section in May, namely St. Lamberti, Hildesheim ↗, Karja church ↗, Braaby Church ↗, St Patrick's Liverpool ↗, Vlah Church ↗, Freerslev Church ↗, Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Mata-Utu ↗, St. Michael's Cathedral (Sitka, Alaska) ↗, St. Lamberti, Hildesheim ↗, Karja church ↗, Braaby Church ↗, St. Pierre Cathedral, Saint-Pierre ↗, Mont Saint Michel Abbey ↗, St Patrick's Church, Liverpool ↗, Vlah Church ↗, St Catherine of Siena Church, Cocking ↗, Catedral Nuestra Señora de La Asunción ↗, Roholte Church ↗, Notre Dame Cathedral, Taiohae ↗, Leicester Abbey ↗, Caracas Cathedral ↗, Caldey Abbey ↗, King's Mead Priory ↗, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Hong Kong) ↗ andAll Saints' Church, Winthorpe ↗, as well as the hymn What Wondrous Love Is This ↗.

<BIG>H</BIG>ISTORICAL <BIG>J</BIG>ESUS
{{clear|left}}
Did Jesus exist? Did he walk the streets of Jerusalem? The '''Historicity of Jesus ↗''' article answers these questions with a firm affirmative. Historicity does not discuss if Jesus walked on water, but if he walked at all. The issue was the subject of scholarly debate before the end of last century, but the academic debate is almost over now. As the article discusses, virtually all academic opposition to the existence of Jesus has evaporated away now and scholars see it as a concluded issue. The discussion is now just among mostly self-published non-academics.

In 2011 John Dickson ↗ tweeted that if anyone finds a professor of history who denies that Jesus lived,he would eat a page ↗ of his Bible (Matthew 1 he said). Dickson's Bible is still safe.

The article discusses the ancient sources that relate to Jesus and how they fit together to establish that he existed. The evidence for Jesus is not just based on the Christian gospels, but by inter-relating them with non-Christian sources, and the fact that they all "fit together". Moreover, the existence of Jesus is not supported just by Christian scholars and in recent years the detailed knowledge of Jewish scholars and their discoveries (e.g. Shlomo Pines ↗' discovery of the Syriac Josephus ↗) has proven highly beneficial. We encourage you to read and follow the article, for the existence of Jesus is central to the existence of Christianity.

Just a few years after its publication, Van Voorst ↗'s book has become the standard comprehensive text for the discussion of ancient sources that relate to Jesus and his historicity. This detailed yet really readable book has received wide ranging endorsements - Blomberg ↗ and Harris ↗ separately referring to it as the most comprehensive treatment of the subject.

'''Did you know...'''

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes ↗, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

May 21st at Northeastern University's Snell Library ↗, in the Digital Scholarship Commons on the second floor

May 22nd at Brown University's Rockefeller Library ↗, in the Digital Scholarship Lab

June 25th at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (exact location TBA) ↗, where we will also be hosting a "how to conduct an edit-a-thon" session beforehand

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.
