Redesigning the NAD

by Loren Seibold, November 13, 2015. I told you in a previous column that the most interesting item on the NAD Year-end Meeting agenda was the report of the Church Governance Committee. Within the document were some exciting and courageous proposals—but presenters dropped cautionary warnings. NAD president Dan Jackson said repeatedly that this is just a study document, […]

The Greatest Hits of the 2015 NAD Year-End Meetings

by Loren Seibold, November 6, 2015. I’ve been to a lot of church meetings. But there are none that compare to the marathon business sessions that happen at the Seventh-day Adventist World Headquarters at 12501 Old Columbia Pike.

ADVENTIST TOMORROW—Fresh Ideas While Waiting for Jesus, by Jack Hoehn

ADVENTIST TOMORROW is a best-selling book for Adventist Today, with over 1,000 copies sold so far. A Sabbath-school at LLU has discussed selected chapters. It is being read by Adventist College and University students. It is read in Canada, in Australia, in South Africa, in Kenya and in Spain, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Even Clifford Goldstein told Jack he liked the chapter on Intoxicants and got a new idea from the chapter Not a Rib, “but not much else.” (Jack accepts this as good a review from Cliff as he could ever hope for!)

You too don’t have to agree with Jack to read the book. The ideas discussed are important and are very much topics of current interest. What is the Adventist view on abortions as needed health care or murder? Should Adventists vote–then who or what for? Should Adventists vote to protect the US 2^nd amendment or return to our historic position of “not-bearing arms.” Can we accept science and still believe in God? Is Genesis 1 an inspired summary of Creation or a detailed news report?

Readers are positive: “It’s a good read.” “ I have enjoyed it immensely.” “ A very valuable piece of work.” “Once I started it, I could not put it down.” “Very well written.” “An unprecedented and transformative rescue of Adventist thought.” “A genuine pleasure and a relief.” “An author should… make you think and maybe think a little differently than you did before. Jack…has accomplished this in spades!” “Added very richly to my heart, soul and mind.”
