Acts 15:22 - 41

Those gathered in Jerusalem to discuss the issue of Gentile believers concluded their session by writing a letter to those churches who would be affected. In the letter, they carefully spelled out the fact that God did not intend for Gentiles to become Jews before receiving the Gospel. After giving them some practical applications of their faith, they concluded the letter and dispatched it with Paul, Barnabas and others. The group departed for Antioch (home of the first "Christians" remember?) and continued with those believers for quite some time. Later, Paul and Silas would travel to Syria, while Barnabas and John Mark would make their way to Cyprus.
