6 September 2021 | Dear Editor, Without intending to extend this controversy, I wish to say that I agreed with and appreciated Loren Seibold’s concern about the planned distribution of a billion copies of The Great Controversy (“The Wrong Way to Reach the World,” 27 August 2021). Would it be possible to channel the enthusiasm […]

Thank you, Aunt Sevvy, for addressing polyandry!
17 August 2021 | Dear Adventist Today, Thank you so much for Aunt Sevvy’s column posted on Monday. Our son told us several months ago that he and his wife were now in a polyamorous relationship. We met their new partner and her children and like them very much. We have accepted the situation, though […]
Moore refutes Mora’s characterization of his view of inspiration
31 July 2021 | Dear Adventist Today: I am responding to the article by Daniel A. Mora, “I Do Not Claim to Be a Prophetess” that appeared on a recent Adventist Today web site, which is his response to an article of mine that appeared on an earlier web site titled “A Response to Loren Seibold.” In […]
Thanks for Admiral Ncube’s thoughts on virginity!
16 July 2021 | Admiral Ncube’s thoughts on virginity and young women in Aunt Sevvy’s column were absolutely beautiful. Oh, that it were published worldwide! Our young ladies are precious in the sight of God. Our young men need all the support they can get, too. Our church families should be there for them. I’m […]
Sometimes empowered, sometimes bewildered, always glad
13 July 2021 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, I just want to say that I enjoy your weekly column very much. I am an 83-year-old white-haired gentleman. (I do try to be gentle in all matters). Each week I look forward to your wisdom and candor and relaxed personal approach. Sometimes I feel empowered by your […]
Thank you for Aunt Sevvy!
20 June 2021 | Dear Adventist Today, I really appreciate Adventist Today and especially Aunt Sevvy’s column. When I was growing up (I’m in my 80s now) we weren’t encouraged to question anything about our church or its policies. Now we’re getting to the place where we realize that individuals are unique, and some may […]
Your cover was ugly, and the paper too expensive
9 June 2021 | To the editor, Re your Spring 2021 issue of Adventist Today: It was interesting reading about the “Hamburg Seers” because I was living in Hamburg at that time and remember the meeting to decide about them. I was young then, and everything seemed a little spooky to me. I had not […]
Scientific Evidence Lacking for Evolution
28 March 2021 | Dear Editor, This is a response to the article by Paul Priest titled, “The Correspondence Between the Creation of the Universe in Science and the Bible,” dated 22 February 2021. There is abundant scientific evidence supporting an old universe and old earth. However, scientific evidence is lacking for the origin of […]
Steve Daily Interview: “Fraud is a bridge too far”
4 March 2021 | Dear editor: The AT interview of Steve Daily about Daily’s book on Ellen White came across to me as more sycophantic than journalistic. It was like watching FOX News interview Donald Trump. No follow-up questions. No cross-examination. No pressing him on bias or misinterpretation. Over the years, I have admired much […]
Thanks for the “big tent” edition of the AT magazine.
26 February 2021 | Dear Editor, I have just about finished devouring the Winter edition of the Adventist Today magazine, and I do mean DEVOURING! Your editorial was right on target, as were the articles. I am totally in favor of the “29th Fundamental Belief” even though I know that it will only exist in […]
Aunt Sevvy shouldn’t have doubled down on lard
24 November 2020 | Dear Editor, You were given a chance to correct a wrong position (“Aunt Sevvy,” 6 November 2020), and instead you chose to double down and justify your response by saying that lard in the piecrust is a minor issue, and we need to focus on bigger issues. I am disappointed. We […]
The ATSS communion was a foretaste of our meeting in heaven
16 October 2020 | Dear Adventist Today, My wife and I recently participated in your virtual communion service. It moved me to examine my involvement in previous standard communion celebrations. This examination was in an attempt to determine what made this service such a uniquely moving event. In so doing, my mind wandered back to […]
