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 […]

28 July 2019  | Hello Brethren, [With regard to the story about a fight at Nairobi Central Adventist Church:] I would like to let you know that I spoke to eyewitnesses of this incident. The pastor was not beaten. He may have been roughed up, but none of the alleged beat him. It is sad […]

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 […]
