  • A New Fundamental Belief?
    JULY 17, 2004 RECORD In this issue Anti-Semitic vandals deface Russian seminary South Pacific includes youth for GC session PNG government grant “good news” for schools Dr Michael Ryan (left), General Conference vice-president, with Adventist Review editor Dr William Johnsson and director of the Biblical Research Institute, Dr Angel Rodriguez, presenting the proposal for a new fundamental belief to the General Conference executive committee in April. A new fundamental belief? by Nathan Brown he Adventist Church around the world is currently in a period of consultation regarding a Tproposed addition to the Statement of Fundamental Beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists. A draft of the new Fundamental Beliefs statement, titled “Growing in Christ,” was presented to the General Conference (GC) executive committee in April. If adopted, the new statement (see page 9 for full text) will be the first major amendment to the fundamental beliefs since they were adopted in their current form in 1980. After wide consultation, the proposed new fundamental will be voted upon at the General Conference session in St Louis (USA), June 29 to July 9, 2005. According to Dr Barry Oliver, general secretary for the South Pacific Division, re-examining the church’s fundamental beliefs from time to time is important, because they are focused on the Bible. “Our Statement of Fundamental Beliefs is an expression of our corporate understanding of some of the essential teachings of the Bible,” he explains. “As such it assists those not of our faith But to understand what we believe and what is important to us. It also serves to underpin a strong sense of unity.” But Dr Oliver is quick to add that the capacity to amend the Statement of Fundamental Beliefs Christians is also an important part of the beliefs themselves.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

World Patterns of Seventh-day Adventist Education is the only description of the church educational system by countries. A United Nations list of 218 countries has been used. This sixth edition of World Patterns has grouped in each country secondary and tertiary schools, and uses the official name in the language of the country, as it appears on all legal documents. (Non-English names can be traced to the SPA Yearbook by using the latter's General Index at the back of the book. Sharp's QlossaJY should be used for translating unfamiliar non-English educational terms). Curricula and credentials required for teaching in SDA schools are described as far as possible even where these are not obtainable within the SPA system in the country. This document will be updated from time to time. School entrance age is 6 unless otherwise indicated. An underlined initial means the program is government recognized. The division of the General Conference to which a country belongs is indicated in parentheses according to the code given under "Abbreviations and Symbols." Staffing of colleges and complete secondary schools can be found in the SPA Yearbook.

Sonoma Adventist College, Papua New Guinea RICHARD ANDERSON Richard Anderson, M.A. (Andrews University, Michigan, USA); Graduate Diploma in Information (University of Technology, Sydney, Australia) retired in 2010 as assistant librarian, Avondale College of Higher Education, Cooranbong, Australia. An Australian by birth Anderson served the Church in India, Papua New Guinea and Australia as a teacher, pastor, College lecturer, principal, and librarian. He is married to Lyn with two adult children and four step children and eleven grandchildren. Sonoma Adventist College is located inland from Kokopo on the Gazelle Peninsula, East New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea (PNG). It is a coeducational tertiary college offering various certificates, diplomas and degrees across a range of disciplines, including agriculture, building construction, commerce, primary education, and theology. 1 The Early Years of Sonoma Sonoma Adventist College was established in 1968. Its founding followed from the report of a commission set up by the Australasian Division to study educational needs in the Coral Sea Union Mission and the Bismarck Solomons Union Mission. The report recommended that effective as from 1968, an interunion college for ministerial training and primary teacher training be established that would serve the needs of both unions.2 A. R. Mitchell, president of the Bismark Solomons Union Mission, in his report to the union session in 1967 spoke of the need for the college: For months now negotiations have been going on between the union and the division with a view to decentralizing the Jones Missionary College. It has been felt that the isolation of Kambubu makes the work of teacher and ministerial training almost impossible.
