14 May 2020  | Washington Adventist University’s (WAU) model for the COVID-19 pandemic, as seen on their website, is “being informed and prepared.” During this time of uncertainty, we students are patient and understanding. Of course, many of our events have been delayed and/or canceled due to social distancing. However, on May 6, 2020, we […]

12 February 2020  | The comments Loren Seibold reported about what some folks feel about the foot washing part of communion were some of the same I heard when I did Biblical Hospitality seminars and passed around a “communion questionnaire.” What I’ve started doing at my church in Beltsville, MD, where communion is much better […]

I consider myself an easygoing, laid-back, reasonable person. I generally trust decisions that church leaders make. They are leaders because they have demonstrated good judgment in the past. They have more information than I do. They have spent more time studying the issues than I. They deserve the benefit of the doubt. In mid-October a […]

15 December 2019  | Loren Seibold’s piece in the Fall 2019 Adventist Today magazine, titled “It’s Too Late for Jesus to Come Soon,” is right on target. And it is an example of why I became a supporter of AT years ago. I drifted away from active engagement some time back for a variety of reasons, […]

10 December 2019  | I am writing to thank you for the Fall 2019 issue of Adventist Today, marking 175 years since Seventh-day Adventists first expected Jesus to return. Loren Seibold’s article “It’s Too Late for Jesus to Come Soon” put into words what most of us won’t even let ourselves think about: that the […]

By Janine Colburn, 3 October 2019 Reinder Bruinsma lives in the Netherlands with his wife, Aafje. He has served the Adventist Church in various assignments in publishing, education and church administration on three continents, his last post before retiring as president of the Netherlands Union. He still maintains a busy schedule of preaching, teaching and […]

By Nathan Schilt, 28 October 2019   |    Recently I read with interest Lindsey Painter’s “Why I Reject American Exceptionalism.” Despite her deep concerns that history and current events portend a dystopic future for America, I continue to strongly believe in American exceptionalism, regardless of what political figures, parties, or ideologies seem to be in control […]

September 20, 2019  |   Dear Editor Adventist Today is my favorite magazine. I try to support it financially and encourage my Sabbath School class to do the same. Loren Seibold’s article “God’s Grace for Pastors” (Summer 2019 Adventist Today magazine) spoke to my concerns regarding a loving God and His answers, or lack thereof, to […]

Dear Editor, Adventist Today, I am writing to appeal to the Adventist Church leaders both in East Kenya Union and the East and Central Africa Division to rethink their stand, and meet the brothers of the Nairobi Metropolitan Conference and discuss their differences in a cordial and understanding way. I strongly believe we have a […]

Dear Editor, I read with interest a recent offering entitled “Pay the Thunder No Mind,” by Winona Winkler Wendth (and yes, I do find alliteration appealing) in the paper edition of Adventist Today, summer 2019 (volume 27, #3). I didn’t know her grandfather, whom she references, but I wish to react to something she attributes […]

I received the Summer 2019 Adventist Today magazine recently. This issue, on the power of grace, is one of the best AT has put out for awhile. The articles are excellent, especially the poignant one by D. Rice, and an honest article about the pastorate. We don’t need to be clergy to relate to these […]
