by Loren Seibold  |  31 May 2022  |  A while back I was reading an Adventist-run Facebook group about modesty in dress. The striking thing about this group is that it is organized and written mostly by men, yet is almost entirely about women. It is not unusual in this group to read a man’s […]

by Andreas Bochmann  |  27 May 2022  | My pastor made me aware of it: an article on “headship theology” in the Adventist Review. Before I found it, a Facebook group I follow discussed it, with rather mixed opinions. When I read it I found it deeply disturbing. The piece I’m referring to was written […]

By Norman H Young  |  26 May 2022  |   Read part 1 of this series here. In his Letters to an American Lady, C. S. Lewis writes. I never could find out what the VIIth Day Adventists believe, tho’ I had a long talk with one the other day, a professor of electrical engineering from […]

Curious why our Cracker Barrel waiter was a middle-aged man, soft-voiced and serious, when usually they’re young people, students, […]

by Richard W. Coffen  | Morning news, noontime news, evening news—the media are reporting a leak of a legal opinion allegedly supported by the majority of the justices of the United States Supreme Court. Someone, somewhere, somehow has released to Politico, without authorization, a 98-page “Opinion of the Court” written by Justice Samuel Alito. The force […]

by David Geelan  |  11 May 2022  | To be honest, I’m not 100% sure what I think about “cancel culture.” Often when I sit down to write for Adventist Today I have a fairly clear idea of the conclusion I hope to share, or at least the question I want to leave you with. […]

by Loren Seibold  |  10 May 2022  | “Where’d you get married?” I asked. “In Jim’s church,” Terry said. Jim is a Seventh-day Adventist; Terry isn’t. “The Adventist pastor stood up in front with us and preached a sermon,” she said. “But he said he couldn’t marry an Adventist with a non-Adventist so we had […]
