God's People,” April 23, 2021 S5:E14 TUCSON, ARIZONA, August 17, 2021 — Bradford C. Newton has been elected president of the Pacific Union Conference, replacing Ricardo B. Graham, who is retiring after 14 years of service as president and more than 46 years of ministry. Elected to fill the role of executive secretary that Newton has held since 2008, Sandra E. Roberts, president of the Southeastern California Conference, is the first woman to be elected to serve in the administration of the Pacific Union Conference and within the North American Division. Delegates returned Stephen V. Mayer to the position of treasurer, while Leon B. Brown, Sr., president of the Nevada- Utah Conference, was elected to serve as vice president, replacing Jorge Soria, who is retiring after 47 years of ministry. The elections were a significant part of the agenda for the delegates of the 31st Pacific Union Constituency Session, held August 15-16, in Tucson, Arizona. Printed: October 2021 - Page 1 of 50 Article reprint from Adventistfaith.com on October 2021 2021© Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Copyright, All Right Reserved. Held every five years to conduct the official business of the church, more than 350 delegates participated in the constituency session. Elder G. Alexander Bryant, president of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists, served as the chair of the Nominating Committee for the constituency session, and led the delegates inthe balloting process. “You have just elected the most diverse group of officers in the history of the Pacific Union Conference,” said Bryant, a remark that received standing applause from delegates. Speaking directly to themembers of the new administration, Bryant said, “This body elected you in an overwhelming fashion. Lead this union to the next level as we prepare for the soon return of Jesus Christ.” Delegates also voted on the coordinators for ethnic ministries and adopted changes in the bylaws that redesignate these positions—along with the director of education—as vice presidents for specialized ministries. Serving in these positions are VicLouis Arreola III, vice president for Asian Pacific ministries; Virgil S. Childs, vice president for Black ministries; Berit von Pohle, vice president for education; and Alberto Ingleton, vice president for Hispanic ministries. In his role as executive secretary during the previous term, Elder Bradford C. Newton has chaired the Bylaws Committee, and he spoke to the importance of these new designations. “We believe that this will both broaden the administrative leadership for the Pacific Union Conference and deepen the opportunities for all of our ministries to come together in shared ministry and mission.” The delegates also received the treasurer’s report from Stephen V. Mayer on the financial status of the position of the Pacific Union, which has seen steady and continuous growth since the last constituency session in 2016. “We have seen the Lord’s faithfulness repeatedly demonstrated in the last five years. We are committed to responsibly use these sacred resources for His kingdom.” An accompanying report from the G.C. auditor confirmed that Pacific Union Conference entities audits affirmed the highest level of compliance with standard financial practices. Reports were also received from education and healthcare, and they may be found on the Pacific Union Conference website, as well as in the Recorder magazines for July, August, and September. The retirements of Elder Ricardo Graham and Elder Jorge Soria prompted emotional responses of gratitude from the delegates. They each spoke with affection for the Seventh-day Adventist Church and their appreciation for the many years of service in the Pacific Union. The retiring leaders each expressed gratitude to their spouses as their partners in ministry. Acting on behalf of the Pacific Union Conference, Bradford and Jennifer Newton formally recognized and expressed appreciation to Elder Ricardo Graham and his wife, Audrey Weir-Graham, and to Elder Jorge Soria and his wife, Lina Soria, for their dedicated service. “I want to thank you for your prayers through the years,” Graham told the assembly, with his wife, Audrey Weir- Graham, by his side. “I never planned to be any type of administrator, but I’ve always been willing to go where God Printed: October 2021 - Page 2 of 50 Article reprint from Adventistfaith.com on October 2021 2021© Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Copyright, All Right Reserved. sends me, and I’ve had the great support of a great wife every step of the way.” He continued, “I have full confidence in the team you have elected, that God will lead them as He led the previous team, to prepare to meet Jesus.” Elder Bradford C. Newton now takes up the leadership for the Pacific Union in the field in which he had served in pastoral and administrative roles since 1995. “We stand in a very monumental time in earth’s history,” Newton stated. Reflecting on the theme for the 31st Constituency Session, he continued, “How we respond to Christ’s words, ‘So Send I You’ will impact not only our lives but our churches, schools, and communities. The Seventh-day Adventist Church is uniquely called to a prophetic role in our society. The way the Lord has led us in the past, and the promise of the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, gives us confidence for the important work that lies before us.” ### Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Mail to: PO Box 5005, Westlake Village, CA 91359 Street Address: 2686 Townsgate Road, Westlake Village, CA 91361 [email protected] Printed: October 2021 - Page 3 of 50 Article reprint from Adventistfaith.com on October 2021 2021© Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Copyright, All Right Reserved.

Constituency Sessions – What Are They For? When Elder W.T. Knox, president of the Pacific Union in 1902, spoke to that very first session, he posed the fundamental question, “What can be done for the improvement of the ministry? When the delegates to the very first Pacific Union Conference constituency session met, many were surely asking the same kind of questions we ask today. Way back in 1902 at that first meeting in Portland, Oregon, some were probably asking, “What is a constituency session actually for?” Elder Knox answered their question with a question: “What can we do to improve our ministry?” There’s certainly a lot of organizational business to attend to—electing administrative and departmental officers, dealing with policy matters, making sure we take care of the “nuts and bolts” of “doing church.” Doing things “decently and in order” has always been an important Christian principle for us. But that’s not really what sessions are all about. Every five years we take this opportunity to come together and think seriously about fulfilling the Great Commission given to us by Jesus. This year the theme is “So Send I You,” a direct reference to the task Christ has given His church. From its beginnings in 1901, the Pacific Union has played a major role in shaping the Adventist Church. Many of its best innovations came from the West in areas as diverse as healthcare, education, and evangelism.

  • It Is Written
    John Bradshaw, speaker-director. Photo from ItIsWritten.com It is Written GREG HUDSON Greg Hudson, D.Min. (Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan), is the senior pastor of the Georgia-Cumberland Academy church in Calhoun, Georgia. He has worked as a registered nurse, and served as a pastor and academy chaplain in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Georgia. It Is Written, a Seventh-day Adventist television ministry founded by George Vandeman, began a weekly broadcast in selected American cities in 1956 and has since extended its reach throughout the world. The first religious television program to broadcast in color, It Is Written has innovated methods of using mass media technologies to augment local evangelism throughout its history. The Emergence of Adventist Television Ministry (1939-1955) The Adventist church became involved in television ministry in 1949, a decade after the televising of the New York World’s Fair in 1939 demonstrated the potential of this new medium.1 After the end of World War II in 1945, as more and more Americans acquired television sets, Adventists saw both its dangers as an immoral influence and its great potential in reaching large numbers of people with the message of Jesus.2 The success demonstrated by the Voice of Prophecy radio broadcast, helped prepare Adventists to recognize the evangelistic potential of modern media. R. H. Libby, J. L. Tucker, and W. A. Fagal pioneered the Adventist use of television as a means of evangelism. On the west coast Tucker started airing The Quiet Hour in 1949.3 In November of that same year, R. H. Libby started airing A Faith to Live By in Baltimore, generating much interest and hundreds of Bible studies, despite working with no budget, no music director, and no musicians.4 Soon another program, Heralds of Hope, with evangelist Robert L.

    STAFFORD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION February 10, 2021 The meeting of the Stafford County Planning Commission of Wednesday, February 10, 2021, was called to order at 4:30 PM by Chairman Steven Apicella, in the Board of Supervisors Chambers of the George L. Gordon, Jr., Government Center and at remote locations throughout the County. Mr. Apicella: Before we get started, I have a statement to read. Today’s meeting will be held using a video web conferencing service, even though a quorum of the Planning Commission is present in the Board Chambers today. At this time, the County’s closure has been extended through February 26; however, the County considers the numbers weekly and the state is subject to be updated, at least on these numbers. Residents can still access all County services by phone, online, and in some cases by appointment during this period of closure. Unfortunately, this means that the public cannot attend our meetings in person. I want you to know that this is a situation that we do not take likely. For that reason, we have decided to defer any public hearings that may be deemed as controversial and do not intend to take up those items until in-person comments can begin again. Residents can still submit comments online until the close of business on the day prior to any of our meetings. I assure you, the Commission reads all of these comments and they will be read aloud during the meeting and added to the public record. If you would like to submit comments before the next meeting, please submit them to the email address listed on the Planning Commissions’ website, [email protected].
