    Psychotherapy with Seventh-Day Adventists

    PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH SEVENTH0DAY ADVENTISTS CAROLE A. RAYBURN The world, though fallen, is not all sorrow and misery. In nature itself are messages of hope and comfort. There are flowers upon the thistles, and the thorns are covered with roses. -Ellen G. White The Seventh-day Adventist Church dates from the Millerite move- ment of the mid-1800s. Conservative on most matters of morality and ethics, it is one of the few Christian denominations to have begun in North America. Also, it is one of the few denominations to have a woman as one of its founders. With its belief in the Protestant tradition, Seventh- day Adventism has conservative standards and practices concerning dress, dietary habits, abstinence from sex outside marriage, smoking and drinking alcohol, and in selection of certain types of entertainment. The 1998 Yearbook published by the General Conference of Seventh- day Adventists notes that the worldwide membership of the Church is 9,470,718 people and 4,682 churches. With 865,187 members in North America, the largest concentration of Seventh-day Adventists (SDAs) is in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Hawaii. The second largest con- centration is in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, and the third largest in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Ohio. A smaller number of SDAs reside in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, and Bermuda (General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, 1998). 21 1 The world conference of Seventh-day Adventists, the General Con- ference, is in Silver Spring, Maryland. The General Conference president meets with and advises church leaders from the 12 divisions of the Church (such as the North American Division), unions (made up of conferences or fields within a larger territory), and local conferences (comprised of churches within various cities).

    Research on Adventist Education: ValueGenesis Studies Elementary & Secondary Education (39) Baker, G. M. (1996). Attitudes and support of Adventist ministers towards denominational K-12 schools. La Sierra University. Purpose. This study examines the attitudes of Seventh-day Adventist ministers regarding the importance of denominational elementary and secondary schools and self-perceived levels of support. The study also compares identified demographic variables in order to determine if a correlation exists between these variables and self- perceived attitudes and tangible support of denominational schools. Procedure. Survey instruments were mailed to 344 church ministers in the Southern and Southeastern California Conferences of Seventh-day Adventists. A return rate of 70.3 percent was achieved with 242 of the 344 ministers contacted returning their completed surveys. Appropriate inferential statistical tests were utilized and factor analysis was conducted on each major section of the survey instrument. Findings. The major findings were: (1) Philosophical attitudinal support for denominational schools is strong amongst Adventist ministers; (2) The tangible effort and action put forth by ministers in support of church schools is at a lower level than their verbal statements affirming intellectual belief in the importance and value of church schools; (3) Most ministers hold a strong belief that the denominational educational system is critical to the future health and survival of the church; (4) There are a number of identifiable concerns

    Foreign Missionary Program of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church

    Trim: Foreign Missionary Program D. J. B. Trim Foreign Missionary Program of the Seventh-day Adventist Church Introduction This article presents a concise history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s foreign missionary program, which would be true even of the full version: I have written rather more than can be presented even in the generous allocation of length. However, the exercise of elaborating the history has allowed me to identify, I hope, the key points. Even a longer history is far from a complete history of what A. G. Daniells, 111 years ago, called the Adventist “mission enterprise.”1 But as my team and I came to realize in doing the research for this history, the volume of documenta- tion in the General Conference (GC) Archives (much less other collections) means that writing a truly comprehensive history is at least conceivable. This article presents sketches, or outline histories, albeit anchored in the original sources. Something that is omitted from both the longer history and from my two articles are stories of the men and women who served the church in foreign climes and cultures. I hope that IPRS will commis- sion a study of Adventist missionaries, drawing on each appointee’s file; which is something I have discussed with secretariat, which would yield rich insights that could improve our systems, but would also make it pos- sible to tell the story of mission service from the missionaries’ point of view. These two articles give the perspective of the world headquarters. Although not as exciting as the stories of missionaries, denominational infrastructure is the indispensable foundation of missionary service.
