ABSTRACT THE DOCTRINE OF SIN IN THE THOUGHT OF GEORGE R. KNIGHT: ITS CONTEXT AND IMPLICATIONS by Jamie Kiley Adviser: Denis Fortin ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Thesis Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: THE DOCTRINE OF SIN IN THE THOUGHT OF GEORGE R. KNIGHT: ITS CONTEXT AND IMPLICATIONS Name of researcher: Jamie Kiley Name and degree of faculty adviser: Denis Fortin, Ph.D. Date completed: December 2009 George R. Knight attempts to chart a middle course between various historical extremes on the doctrine of sin. His view of the Fall and of the consequent effects on human nature is not as pessimistic as that of theologians in the Augustinian tradition (including Martin Luther and John Calvin), who stress the complete corruption of human nature and the loss of free will.

  • Adventist Health INTERNATIONAL
    Adventist Health INTERNATIONAL 2001 ANNUAL REPORT PRESIDENT’S REPORT It has been quite a year. Amidst the concerns about security, terrorism, and the understanding of other cultures, AHI has flourished. We have officially grown from two countries to six countries includ- ing nine hospitals and 30 clinics. As you will see in this report, AHI is now active in Cameroon, Ethiopia, Guyana, Haiti, Rwanda, and Zambia. Our new hospital building in Gimbie is nearing comple- tion, Davis Memorial Hospital in Guyana is doing well, and strategic plans are being implemented in the new countries, including hospitals with well-known names like Mugonero, Mwami, Yuka, Koza, and Port- au-Prince. Perhaps even more gratifying has been the expansion of the AHI support base. In this report, you will meet the AHI officers who provide considerable time and effort in moving projects forward. We have also been blessed with several extraordinary volunteers who continue to make a real difference in achieving our goals—the stories of Karen Simpson and Kelvin Sawyer are truly inspiring. And finally, there are the many donors and agencies who have confirmed their belief in what AHI is doing by provid- ing financial support. From our board members to the individual staff and volunteers who make it possible, God has woven a tapestry of love for serving others. I want to personally thank the Board of Trustees of Loma Linda University and Medical Center, and later the AHI board, for their willingness to support a new idea and approach. Dr. Calvin Rock, now retired, was chair of those boards during the foundation of AHI.

  • Toward a Biblical Theology of God's Judgment
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 15/1 (Spring 2004): 138–165. Article copyright © 2004 by Jir¥ií Moskala. Toward a Biblical Theology of God’s Judgment: A Celebration of the Cross in Seven Phases of Divine Universal Judgment (An Overview of a Theocentric- Christocentric Approach) Jir¥ˆí Moskala Andrews University The Scriptural teaching about judgment lies at the center of GodÕs revela- tion. It is a crux of the biblical message, giving a profound paradigm for our thinking. Next to the fundamental proclamation that God is the Creator (Gen 1Ð2), the Lord is presented as the Judge: In the Garden of Eden there is the first reference to the trial judgment (Gen 3:8Ð24),1 where the grace and justice of God are intermingled.2 The biblical Flood narrative is an account about judg- ment (Gen 6Ð9).3 Abraham called God Òthe Judge of all the earthÓ (Gen 18:25). Two biblical books carry the concept of judgment in their titles: the book of Judges and the book of Daniel.4 1Claus Westermann, Genesis 1Ð11: A Commentary (Minneapolis: Augsburg, 1984), 254: ÒThe purpose of the trial scene is to make clear to the man and the woman what they have done.Ó 2Grace was demonstrated because the first couple did not die in the day when they ate from the forbidden fruit, as promised by God (Gen 2:16Ð17; 3:9), and the proto-Gospel with the promise of the seed and victory over the serpent was given (Gen 3:15).

  • Adventist Health White Memorial 2020 Community Health Plan
    Adventist Health White Memorial 2020 Community Health Plan The following Implementation Strategy serves as the 2020 – 2022 Community Health Plan for Adventist Health White Memorial and is respectfully submitted to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development on May 28, 2021 reporting on 2020 results. [ADVENTISTHEALTH:INTERNAL] Together Inspired Executive Summary Introduction & Purpose Adventist Health White Memorial is pleased to share its Community Health Implementation Strategy. This follows the development of its 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) in accordance with requirements in the Affordable Care Act and IRS 990 Schedule H requirements and approved by the Adventist Health Board of Directors on October 17, 2019. After a thorough review of the health status in our community through the community health needs assessment (CHNA), we identified areas that we could address using our resources, expertise and community partners. Through these actions and relationships, we aim to empower our community and fulfill our mission of “Living God’s love by inspiring health, wholeness and hope.” The results of the CHNA guided this creation of this document and aided us in how we could best provide for our community and the vulnerable among us. This Implementation Strategy summarizes the plans for Adventist Health White Memorial to develop and collaborate on community benefit programs that address prioritized health needs identified in its 2019 CHNA. Adventist Health White Memorial has adopted the following priority areas for our community health investments. Prioritized Health Needs – Planning to Address • Health Priority #1: Chronic Disease • Health Priority #2: Mental Health • Health Priority #3: Access to Health Care and Resources Building a healthy community requires multiple stakeholders working together with a common purpose.
