Much planning and prep- aration has gone into this session, and we are thankful to A Warm the many people who have made this important gathering a reality. Our theme, “Arise! Shine! Jesus Is Coming!” points to our hope and calling as Seventh-day Adventists. What a wonderful message to share with a world desperately in need Welcome of a Savior. Although our countries, cul- tures, and languages may differ, we are all part of the same family of Christ, with one mission. During this session, not only do we to All have the joy of worshipping together as a worldwide family, renewing past friendships, and build- ing new ones; we have the opportunity to focus clearly on accomplishing God’s mission for His church of proclaim- ing the three angels’ messages. This special work must involve everyone—women, men, children, youth. All are needed to reach the world for Christ through the Holy Spirit’s power. As you have been doing during the “100 Days of Prayer,” continue to pray earnestly for the outpouring of the latter rain of the Holy Spirit at this session. Pray that the Holy Spirit will guide each word spoken and that Christian respect is extended to each other as we conduct the busi- ness of the church.

As we see disaster, chaos, and uneasiness all around, the signs tell us we are indeed living in the very last days. It is my desire that each of us feel anew the assurance of God’s grace, the urgency of our task, and the power of His promises: “Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: ‘For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry’ ” (Heb. 10:35-37).* Arise!

ELLEN G. WHITE ESTATE eventh-day Adventists have long looked to our pioneers for inspira- tion. As we prepare for the 60th Gen- Seral Conference session in San Antonio, there are lessons to learn and points of inspiration to take from the first, founding session 152 years ago, when Seventh-day Adventist leaders met in Battle Creek, Michigan, in May 1863. The Spirit of That expression, “Seventh-day Adventist leaders met,” sounds so simple. But just 32 months earlier it could not have been said. For it was only as recently as October 1, 1860, at an earlier meeting in Battle Creek, that believers had agreed “that we call our- selves Seventh-day Adventists.”1 Before then, the term Seventh-day Adventist had been used as often by enemies, as a term of abuse, as by the few members of the yet- ’63 unorganized movement that had emerged after the Great Disappointment of 1844. At that 1860 meeting it took four days of debate to reach a consensus that if God’s remnant people formally organized their local churches and adopted a common name for themselves, they would not be retreating into Babylon. But those few steps were as far as Adventists would go. The prospect of any organization above the local congregation was unacceptable. CONFERENCES AND GENERAL CONFERENCE Yet, remarkably, within two and a half years Seventh-day Adventists in Michigan, ELLEN G. WHITE ESTATE ELLEN G. Iowa, Vermont, Wisconsin, Illinois, Min- nesota, and New York had organized seven separate associations of churches into The First General Conference Session what they called conferences (two in Iowa, one covering Illinois and Wisconsin, and BY DAVID TRIM the others each covering one state; the two in Iowa later merged into one). But what was recognized by many Seventh-day Adventists was that, in effect, this meant there were six Seventh-day Adventist denominations—not one. So in March 1863 James White, the unofficial (but undisputed) leader of Seventh-day Advent- ists, published, in the Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, the journal that bound the widely scattered believers together (usu- ally known then simply as the Review and Herald and today as the Adventist Review), a call for a “General Conference.” The term general conference had been 8 ADVENTIST REVIEW | GC SESSION BULLETIN: JULY 3, 2015 used by the Millerites in the early 1840s; that 20 leaders of the embryonic Seventh- they were pragmatic.

Campbell Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies Cavite, Philippines 1. Introduction “All Christians engage in confessional synthesis,” wrote theologian Carl R. Trueman.1 Some religious groups adhere to a public confession of faith as subject to public scrutiny whereas others are immune to such scrutiny. Early Seventh-day Adventists, with strong ties to the Christian Connexion, feared lest the creation of a statement of beliefs so that some at some point may disagree with that statement may at some point be excluded.2 Another danger was that statements of belief might be used to present making new discoveries from Scripture, or afterward a new truth might be stifled by appealing to the authority of an already established creed. From the perspective of early Sabbatarian Adventists, some remembered the time when during the Millerite revival that statements of belief were used to exclude them from church fellowship.3 These fears were aptly expressed during the earliest organizational developments in 1861 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. According to denominational co-founder, James White: “making a creed is setting the stakes, and barring up the way to all future advancement. The Bible is 1 Carl R.

    HEAVEN BOUND, EARTHLY GOOD: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF RACE RELATIONS IN THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFiLLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY JONATHAN GRANT DEPARTMENT OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES STUDIES ATLANTA, GEORGIA MAY 2010 ABSTRACT AFRICAN-AJ~4zEpJcM~ STUDIES GRANT, JONATHAN BA. OAKWOOD UNIVERITY, 2007 HEAVEN BOUND, EARTHLY GOOD: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF RACE RELATIONS IN THE SEVENTH-DAy ADVENTIST CHURCH Advisor: Dr. Josephine Bradley Thesis dated May 2010 The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a denomination that has contributed much to the development of American society. Although the Church is a religious and social institution, its views on race in America have changed over the years, from its abolitionist approach during the mid 19th century to its stance of non-involvement during the Civil Rights Movement. By studying the race relations in the Adventist Church, this thesis reveals the factors that may have caused its position of non-intervention during the Civil Rights Movement. The thesis analyzes the development of black/white race relations in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and how it has led to the Church’s stance regarding race during the Civil Rights Movement. The functionalist theory is utilized to elucidate the Church’s racial approach from a sociological perspective. This thesis allows for future research of other religious organizations and how those institutions have helped advance or delay the quest for social freedom amongst African Americans. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author of this document acknowledges, first and foremost, his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for allowing this manuscript to become a success.

White Estate —Because “remembering” is es- sential to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the words and works of the Adventist pioneers need to be given prominence. We are pleased with the skillful, professional efforts put forth to accom- plish this by the Pioneer Library officers and staff. Through books, periodicals and CD-ROM, the messages of the pioneers are being heard, and their influence felt. We trust that the work of the Adventist Pioneer Library will increase and strengthen as earth’s final crisis approaches. C. Mervyn Maxwell, (former) Professor of Church History, SDA Theological Semi- nary —I certainly appreciate the remarkable contribution you are making to Adventist stud- ies, and I hope you are reaching a wide market.... Please do keep up the good work, and may God prosper you. James R. Nix, (former) Vice Director, Ellen G. White Estate —The service that you and the others associated with the Adventist Pioneer Library project are providing our church is incalculable To think about so many of the early publications of our pioneers being available on one small disc would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. I spent years collecting shelves full of books in the Heritage Room at Loma Linda University just to equal what is on this one CD-ROM.
