Dear Editor, In her well-researched and balanced article (“Is Mrs. Potiphar to Blame?” Spring 2019 Adventist Today magazine), Lindsey Abston Painter fails to take into consideration another cultural factor in Mrs. Potiphar’s defense: that Mr. Potiphar may in fact have been a eunuch.  I have read that it was quite common in the Ancient Near […]

Dear Editor: The 13 May 2019 Adventist Today web article “On Evangelism,” (Loren Seibold and Monte Sahlin) is an accurate account of how many of us who have experience in a parish view visiting evangelists. Our conclusions in such matters have been formed by what we have seen. Many who have served in parish ministry […]

Dear Editors and Accomplices, Thank you for the outstanding Winter 2019 issue of Adventist Today. It must represent one of the high-water marks in the history of the journal. In my view, the excellence of that issue derives to a significant degree from the contributions of Elle Berry, Lindsey Abston Painter, and Carmen Seibold. Their […]

May 5, 2019  |   Dear Editor: Loren Seibold’s article of April 11, “Why Adventists Can’t Talk About Politics,” shows, I think, exactly why Adventist leaders and publications should probably stay away from public political discussions. He writes, as many on the left do, as if there is no other “right” way to think than his […]

26 April 2019  | I want to commend you for taking on a very difficult issue in “Why Adventists Can’t Talk About Politics.” Overall, I think that I agree with your main point. But there is a missing piece, at least from my perspective. So this letter is not intended to discourage you in any […]

18 December 2018  | To the Editor: I write to express concern that arises as I read and re-read the fall issue of Adventist Today. I must question your purpose in publishing the article about John Fetzer and the “book review” by Ervin Taylor, without the caveat “the following does not necessarily express opinions of the editors.” […]

21 November 2018  | Dear Editors: First and most importantly I want to express my appreciation for all of your great coverage of Annual Council and also the NAD meetings. I think you folks are doing an excellent job with your online news feed, that I would assume is drawing in a lot of new […]

16 November 2018  | Greetings Friends, First of all, thanks for the ongoing attempt at honest journalism regarding Adventism.  It is appreciated! Second, satirical or or not, I find the recent article “A New Interpretation of the Little Horn of Daniel 7” to be offensive and disrespectful. God sets up kingdoms and tears them down. […]

4 November 2018  | Dear Adventist Today: Here in South Queensland Conference, our ministers, keepers of the flock, are being asked to meet together today to consider the conundrum posed by the meetings and conformity issues from Battle Creek. As our treasured Ellen White considered the breezes from this same village to have little importance […]

Thank you so much for sharing and exposing the hacking that has been undertaken by “someone/some body” on Dr Stefanovic’s lessons for next quarter (Jan-Mar 2019). I am a Sabbath School teacher, and bulletin editor. You can be sure that I will be including the original text which he prepared, both in my lesson presentation […]

“The Ghosts of Adventism” was brilliant!  Insightful, yes. But I’m writing because of the cleverness of the writing. Using the ghost theme, in October no less, tying together so many pieces of SDA history and consequent issues.  I am in awe!  I don’t know how long it took to craft such a masterpiece, but thanks […]

The September 14, 2018 Berlin-Central German Conference statement issued in response to the General Conference Unity Oversight Committee, compliance committee creation, and latest GC documents, concluded with the following statement: “As a consequence, we [the B-CGC] call the members of the General Conference Executive Committee, 1. to reject the documents of the Unity Oversight Committee […]
