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 […]

Sabbath Seminars: Opening the windows of our minds
27 September 2020 | As we transition from the searing heat of summer to the freshness of fall here in the South, we happily open our windows and take in the cool, refreshing fall air. Likewise, AT Sabbath Seminars open up the windows of our minds and let in the breeze of fresh ideas. Where […]
What Immoral Practices Do Liberals Want to Crush?
22 September 2020 | Dear Editor, I write regarding the recent article by Steve Moran in which he declared, “Liberals say they support religious freedom, but then they want to crush religious practices they deem to be immoral.” I am puzzled. If Mr. Moran had wanted a discussion, would he not have specified the religious […]
ATSS: “Every topic has been riveting”
28 August 2020 | The Adventist Today Sabbath Seminar has become a regular part of my Sabbath day experience. Every topic has been riveting and, to my way of thinking, urgent. How do you keep this high quality going? It seems like every week the topics are so clever and valuable and necessary. Nearly all […]
Will COVID-19 slim down our big fat church?
28 August 2020 | Dear Editor, I believe that the answer to Loren Seibold’s question “Can COVID-19 Slim Down Our Big Fat Church?” (Adventist Today magazine, Summer 2020) is yes! Loren has done an excellent job in this article of describing the difficulties we have faced for many years with a top-heavy administrative church structure. However, there […]
ATSS has become a Sabbath tradition for us!
20 August 2020 | Dear Editor, Last Sabbath’s Adventist Today Sabbath Seminar, led by Loren Seibold on the topic of the Jewish food rules, was another thoughtful and interesting study. Because of COVID-19 we have been unable to attend our regular Sabbath School, and the ATSS has now become a Sabbath tradition for us. I […]
Thanks for the Adventist Today Sabbath Seminar!
19 August 2020 | Dear Editor, I wanted to tell Dr. David Geelan and the Adventist Today Sabbath Seminar how much I enjoyed the discussion on atheists and morality on August 8. The topic is close to my heart because I was an atheist for more than 20 years. I had several people tell me […]
Erroneous Information about Commissioned Ministers?
19 August 2020 | Dear Editor: I applaud the choice of Executive Pastor at Walla Walla University Church. What I’m concerned about is the final paragraph, where misleading/inaccurate statements are made. The status and role reference should have the qualifying information that the policy limits what a commissioned minister can do, and how it discriminates […]
Thank you for writing on “Abusive Eschatology”
11 August 2020 | Dear Editor: Such great and powerful articles, “Abusive Eschatology” and the one preceding it on the close of probation! People who did not grow up as we did cannot possibly understand living decades with that constant spiritual knot in your gut. My father is 100 years old now, and was that […]
