Teachers challenge church on wages

Sanitarium helps ADRA feed the hungry

Pastoral spouses affirmed for volunteer work

Doors to Freedom is aimed at high-level leaders and government representatives, but is intended to be used in many ways: broadcast by television stations as initial information about the church, an orientation message on the global scope of the church for new members, and as an introduction to what the church does to be shown during public seminars the church conducts. Doors to Freedom launched

Nathan Brown

new DVD/video, designed for presentation to heads of state, diplomats and other leaders, was A released during the Annual Council meetings in Washington, DC. The 10-minute DVD— Doors to Freedom—describes the Adventist Church as an agency of hope in a troubled world and highlights the church’s commitment to bringing that hope and freedom to all humanity. “This presentation is intended to explain some basic aspects of the Adventist Church in terms that all can understand,” says Jonathan Gallagher, the United Nations liaison director for the General Conference, and one of the developers of this project, which has been a joint production of the Department of the President and the Public Affairs and Religious Liberty Department. “Doors to Freedom is a brief introduction to what Adventists do around the world, illustrating our beliefs and values under the theme of the essential ‘doors to freedom,’” Pastor Gallagher reports. “Through this new information tool the hope is to intentionally open many more ‘doors Pinnacle to freedom’ in the world’s leadership community. “For example, how much freedom do you have if you are sick? Very little practical freedom at all. That is one primary reason Adventists are involved in preventive health and medical care— Junior goes to liberate the sick. Or take education. How much freedom do you have if you are not even aware of the choices? Adventists are at the front of educational programs designed to liberate the mind, and to inform people of the choices, particularly in religious freedom and human rights.” Outback
