What Should We Call these 'Gospel Bookmarks'? - #Redemos? short for #Redemorandums (or #Redemorandi)? @CopelandNetwork @KJV_Bibles @prayerDotOrg

You know those fliers/brochures/pamphlets/leaflets that church-fans take from their church entry-ways to stick-under windshield-wipers and -outside neighbors' front-doors ... What are those called again?

The first thing I think they might be called is "encyclicals" ... but then I think, 'No ... that's the name of "famous letters written by The Pope (sent to all the Roman churches in an area)," isn't it?'

Reminds me of 'famous letters written by Jesus Christ's Apostles (sent to all their newly-planted Christian churches)'---letters called "epistles."

Reminds me of 'famous letters written by a leader of Kenneth Copeland Ministries (sent to all his contributing members (even if they can only contribute "a few coppers" and their prayers))' ... with which they send one of those leaflets--sort of a memo to sum-up the main points of the letter.

For example; with the July 2020 letter, KCM sent:

Maybe that leads us to the name we can use for these 'leaflets' (though I don't know ... they print up 'the #Redemo on 'bookmark-stock' (or 'laminate paper'), so maybe I'm talking about 'what we call that "bookmark" 😜').

That word' (below-hyperlinked to an archive of KCM's partner-letters (where partners can find links to each #Redemmo)) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The word "Redemo" is a portmanteau of the words "Redemption" & " #Memo." 

The word “Memo” is short for "#Memorandum" ( #Memos #Memoranda OR #Memorandums), built on ancient words that mean Mindful of (or Remember) ... (or Agenda, Call to Mind).

I'll obsess over various points of the various 'redemmos' sooner-or-later; but first, a little study of 'what we're calling these things.'

The Apostles' letters were called #Epistles.

The word "Epistles" ( #Epistle) is built on ancient words that mean "to |Dispatch, |Send (|Stand, |Put in |Order) |To"

Popes--who consider themselves 'leaders of Apostolic Lineage'--send letters they call #Encyclicals.

The word "Encyclicals" ( #Encyclical) is built on ancient words that mean "|In a |Circle (|Revolve, |Move |Around).

Then what do we call 'the Partner Letters'?

Let's think; the Apostles wrote their letters to establish The Church---to 'stand it up' firmly (on The Rock). The Popes wrote their letters to keep their 'partners' (priests, deacons, bishops, etc.) "in the Loop" on The Church's policies ...

(I know 'keeping people in the
 loop' isn't the etymology, not so much

 as 'that the letter "goes around" to the churches; but you never know ...)

The Partner Letters, tho ... their main purpose seems to be 'to reassure contributors that their "donated seed" is being "appropriately planted" in the new Kingdom that Lord Jesus Christ instructs us to farm."

Hundredfold Reports?

(as in "How Many Hundredfold?")

Reviewing "what we're redeemed from and what we're redeemed to," I'm reminded (especially with all the media-noise about 'Juneteenth,' the day that America's slaves were informed of their freedom) of the original 'redemption' in the Old Testament—the redemption of slaves once owned by the Hebrews ...

Actually, I can't find The OT's mention of "slave's redemption" (except where it talks about how God redeemed The Hebrews from their slavery under Egypt to their "freedom" in their Exodus to The Promised Land).

But I do remember some Commandment or other (not one of The Ten, but more like 'one of the 770' ... or am I thinking of 'the concubines of King Solomon'?) about 'The Year of Jubilee'—every fiftieth year, wasn't it? ... the year after the seventh seventh year.

Hmm ... Leviticus 25 (which gives the Sabbath Years- & Year of Jubilee-commandments) uses 'redemption' in several of its headings ...
