  • 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.

SERVE WITH LOVE SPIRITUAL CARE vantagepoint Freedom “Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation,” Exodus 15:13. These refugees from Pharaoh’s oppression had a dangerous start to their flight. Untrained in war, taking with them women and children, the old and the very young, they trekked off toward the Red Sea. In a matter of hours, Egyp- tian armies raised dust on the western horizon. Would Israel’s flight be nothing more than an excuse for slaughter, plunder, and rape before their former masters herded them back to the clay pits and brick kilns? Relief workers among refugees talk of the terror of escape and the torture of the captured displaced by national and international conflict. Media outlets have reported and documented multiple atrocities performed against innocent people as they have fled to freedom. Ron C. Smith, D.Min., Ph.D. We know how God redeemed Israel. For generations, their prophets and President of the Southern poets sang of that deliverance. Egypt came to epitomize spiritual oppression by Union Conference satanic forces. God still called His people out, but now He would deliver them from sin. As the song of victory went up on the far side of the Red Sea, the people chorused in unison, “The Lord is a man of war.” Later they would remember this.

  • Reading Tidings of the Southern Union Adventist Family the Adventist EDGE Where Students Come First Vantage Point
    May 2008 SOUTHERN Spreading Tidings of the Southern Union Adventist Family The Adventist EDGE Where Students Come First Vantage Point Do Adventist Schools Measure Up? Parents want to know if Seventh-day Adventist schools are measuring up when it comes to academic excellence. It’s a legitimate question. We know Adventist educa- tion makes a difference when it comes to spiritual values and helping students with life choices. We also have confidence in a curriculum that is overt in its understand- ing and acceptance; for example, of God as Creator and that the only solution for sin is Jesus. We are very confident that students will study in an environment where teachers and students pray and study God’s Word together. I have also heard the inquiry from parents regarding the achievement levels of students in our schools. How do we compare to large public schools, for example, when it comes to testing outcomes? We need the facts to help parents make the best decisions. In 2006, the Church in North America began a major study — CognitiveGenesis. The study tested more than 30,000 students, grades 3-9 and 11, in all conferenc- es in the North American Division. The standardized tests given in the United States were the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, Iowa Tests of Educational Development, and the Cognitive Abilities Test. In order for the research to be valid, the results needed to be “controlled for cognitive ability.” In other words, each student’s achievement level can be predicted based on the student’s score on the cognitive ability tests.

    March 2006 SOUTHERN Spreading Tidings of the Southern Union Adventist Family Adventist “EDGE” Education A Passion for Excellence A Goal for Godliness Vantage Point Pointing to God’s Way of Living A few months ago my parents sent me an old report card. Why they saved this one, I don’t know, but there it was—the original first semester, third grade report card from Home Study Institute. I tossed it aside at first, but later began to see the signifi- cance. Third grade was while my parents were missionaries in Colombia, South Amer- ica, and they were determined, no matter what, that their children would receive an Adventist education. Mother was the teacher, and my brother and I got our books and assignments from Home Study Institute in Washington D.C. It was far from convenient. Studying at home was not my favorite. There were lots of interruptions, and sometimes mother was overwhelmed with it all, but in our family, Adventist Christian Education is a priority. Dad’s parents, living in Bowdle, South Dakota, “became convicted of the truth,” as they used to say, and joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church. They had eight chil- dren. What about Adventist educa- tion?

  • College, University, NAD Academy, and Overseas School Bulletin Collection
    Register of the College, University, NAD Academy, and Overseas School Bulletin Collection Heritage Microfilm 051 Adventist Heritage Center James White Library Andrews University Berrien Springs, MI 49104-1400 1986 Revised 2016 School Bulletin Collection–page 2 College, NAD Academy, and Overseas School Bulletins Heritage Microfilm 051 Scope and Content This collection of microfilmed documents constitutes the General Conference Department of Education’s collection of bulletins or announcements of colleges and academies, NAD as well as overseas. In many cases it includes the first bulletins issued by the schools. The bulk of the collection is from North American schools, though some overseas schools are included. The completeness of the coverage of the overseas schools is not usually very strong compared to the North American schools. A typical school bulletin includes a history, a description, and philosophy of the school, financial information, a description of the curriculum, a roster of the faculty, and in some cases a listing of former students. The collection includes some informational booklets as well as student handbooks, promotional material, a few pictorial annuals, and other similar publications. For each school, a copy of the article pertaining to the school from the Seventh- day Adventist Encyclopedia (1976 edition), if any, was filmed before the first bulletin. Arrangement This microfilm collection begins with the bulletin of the earliest available year for each institution and concludes generally with the 1984/1985 school year, or the last year of operation for the institution if it is defunct. While this collection is quite complete, gaps do occur. No effort was made to fill these gaps because of time and cost considerations.

I will love them freely,” Hosea 14:4. Christ spent a good share of His ministry here on Earth trying to reach and reclaim the backsliders of His day. In Luke 15, He gave three parables that he intended to teach a needed lesson to the religious leaders, who taught that God rejoiced when a sinner or backslider was destroyed. Christ showed by the three parables that God is waiting for missing people to be found and reclaimed. He said that there is rejoicing in Heaven when one lost sinner is found and rescued. In Luke 15, Christ talks about three different types of lost, backslidden, and missing peo- ple: • Those who, like the sheep, know they are lost but don’t know how to find their way back. Someone has to go and search for them and bring them back. • Those who, like the coin, don’t realize they are lost, so they are unable to do anything about their condition. • Those who, like the prodigal son, know they are lost, know their way back, but are afraid Ron C.
