Page 20 7 $50 Million Capital Campaign Launched | 14 Farewell to Gordon Bietz | 24 Food and Friendships at Southern A Vision Realized The Bietz Legacy Event on April 28 served as much more than a farewell to President Gordon Bietz at the conclusion of his transcendent 19-year tenure. True, the occasion had its fair share of tearful moments, but students, employees, family, and friends who filled the gymnasium to capacity left with a spring in their steps, smiles on their faces, and hearts filled with hope. Witnessing the rich retrospective of such a Christ-centered career provides deep inspiration that even retirement can’t dampen. Southern will be blessed by Bietz’s vision for years to come as initiatives he championed continue to take root and bear fruits in the lives of students.

  • Tennessee Mayors Growing Civic Engagement
    J A N U A R Y 2 0 2 0 tennessee mayors growing civic engagement H O W L O C A L L E A D E R S C A N L E V E R A G E T H E I R O F F I C E T O E N G A G E V O T E R S introduction For over a decade, Tennessee has consistently trailed most other states in voter registration and turnout. Participation in local elections is particularly low: Voter turnout fell below 25 percent in recent elections in our state's four largest cities. As a state with a proud civic history, Tennessee has an important opportunity to examine practices, from election administration to civic engagement, that may offer room for improvement. Systemic reforms, such as policies that modernize and secure election machines and voter- registration databases, are critical, but so too are efforts that better connect voters to their communities and elected representatives. Although state leaders, election officials, community groups and individual residents all have roles to play, city and county mayors are uniquely suited to promote civic engagement at the community level. This report highlights Tennessee Mayors Growing Civic Engagment (TMGCE), a new cohort of city and county mayors who collectively committed to making civic engagement a priority in their communities. Within these pages, readers will learn why mayors are well-placed to lead civic engagement efforts, be able to review specific examples from the participating Tennessee leaders and have access to tools and templates to build a civic-engagement action plan all their own.

  • Master of Arts in Youth/Young Adult Ministry
    Youth and Young Adult Ministry, MA 2012-2013 Program Review Program Review # 1. How does the program contribute to the mission of Andrews University and the Seventh-day Adventist Church? Andrews University Mission Statement: “Andrews University, a distinctive Seventh-day Adventist Christian institution, transforms its students by educating them to seek knowledge and affirm faith in order to change the world.” Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Mission Statement: “We serve the Seventh-day Adventist Church by preparing effective leaders to proclaim the everlasting gospel and make disciples of all people in anticipation of Christ’s soon return.” Department of Discipleship and Religious Education Mission Statement: “The Discipleship and Religious Education programs prepare men and women to fulfill the teaching and discipling mandates of the Gospel commission as they minister. Our goal is to prepare pastors and teachers for leadership roles in settings where religious, moral, spiritual nurture, and spiritual growth are the primary concerns.” As a department within the seminary, the Department of Discipleship and Religious Education has three programs, A PhD in Religious Education, an MA: Religious Education and the MA in Youth and Young Adult Ministry (MAYYAM). This program review focuses on the MA in Youth and Young Adult Ministry program, although it must be acknowledged that it is difficult to completely separate this program from others in the department because of faculty and other resource sharing. How the Program Contributes to the Mission of Andrews University and the Seventh-day Adventist Church? As pastors, laity and church administrators’ become increasingly aware of the growing body of research regarding current youth retention within the church, the foresight of those who established the MA in Youth and Young Adult ministry will be appreciated.

  • At a Glance: State and City Action on Covid-19 April 21, 2020, 4:00 PM ET
    At A Glance: State and City Action on Covid-19 April 21, 2020, 4:00 PM ET There has already been significant differences between state and local governments over the imposition of mandatory shelter in place orders, the need for social distancing and the definition of “essential” and “non-essential” businesses and workers. And now we are seeing similar conflicts over the easing of these public health restrictions and the reopening of businesses. Reopening starts with the South Southern governors – with the exceptions of the governors of North Carolina and Kentucky – met by phone last Friday to discuss plans for reopening the region. The governors of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Mississippi who were among the last in the nation to issue statewide stay at home restrictions are among the first to lift restrictions. Georgia Governor Kemp has set the most aggressive reopening course, announcing Monday (April 20) he will ​ allow gyms, barber shops, tattoo parlors and bowling alleys, among other businesses, to reopen on Friday. He said theaters and dine-in restaurants would be permitted to resume activity on April 27. And he will allow the statewide shelter-in-place order to expire at the end of the month. Kemp, in his remarks Monday, stressed that ​ his directive overrides local orders, saying, “Local action cannot be taken that is more or less restrictive.” ​ Georgia has reported nearly 20,000 cases and 775 deaths. o Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) condemned the decision. “More than 19,000 Georgians have tested positive for covid-19 and the numbers continue to increase,” she said in a statement.
