His boyhood days were spent in Laguna Beach, California, where his front door opened Random Survey 4 towards the Pacific Coast Highway, and the back door to the beach. To his regret, his family moved to Ontario, California, where he attended Chaffey High School. Across the street from his new home, there lived two Adventist young people with whom he walked to school every day. They invited him to an evangelistic meeting at the Adventist Church on Daniel 2. He started attending church services, became involved with the young people’s activities, and was baptized. Bill went to La Sierra College from 1950 to 1954, where Drs. Edward Heppenstall and Tom Blincoe had a great influence upon his interests, and also where he met Karen Olsen. They became engaged at the end of her senior year and married at the end of her freshman year of medical school, in 1956. While in college, Bill was undecided between the ministry and medicine, finally deciding, in his junior year, on medicine with the goal of becoming a medical missionary.

What has become of our Heidi Ramirez (current student) David Sherwin (BFA ’82) traditional, family-style campuses of yesteryear, and why do our sweet Sabbath School children Brian Tagalog (current student) grow up and go to college, they wonder! Well perhaps it is precisely those diverse, inefficient and at times unruly institutions that make college education so dynamic and effective. Think of the recent student demonstrations in the universities of Missouri, Yale and elsewhere—a bit messy perhaps, but they received national attention and things are changing. I admit some of this campus activity can be disconcerting and is not a really effective way of running a university, but it does draw attention to critical issues, raise important questions, propose solutions, and help make education a change agent in our society and also in our church.

  • Siegfried H. Horn: 1908-1993 a Tribute
    SIEGFRIED H. HORN: 1908-1993 A TRIBUTE On November 28,1993, Siegfried H. Horn, first editor of Andrews University Seminary Sttrdies, passed away in St. Helena, California, at the age of 85. As was discovered after his death, he had malignant lymphoma. Horn's long and distinguished career in biblical archaeology has been documented in recent issues of Biblical Archaeology Review. Larry G. Herr's article "The Search for Biblical Heshbon",' told of Horn's BAR 19 (Nov.-Dec. 1993): 36-37, 68. TRIBUTE 5 leadership in the Hesban project, which has been reported through the years in the pages of AUSS. The article ended by saying that "at the age of 85, Siegfried Horn still keeps an eye on our work and would have it no other way." Herr, currently Annual Professor at the Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem, intended for his piece to be a tribute that Horn might read and enjoy in life. Whether Horn saw it, we do not know. BAR also carried a tribute written by Larry Geraty, in which Horn's life story is told.' Siegfried Horn was the son of a Seventh-day Adventist Bible teacher and one of Germany's earliest aviators. He was educated in Jewish schools so he would not have to attend school on Sabbath. After theological education in Germany and England, Horn served as a missionary in the Dutch East Indies. Interned with other German nationals, first in Java and then in India, Horn spent seven years in prison camps. During those years he spent time with his cherished books, miraculously preserved through many difficulties.

  • Glacier View Sanctuary Review Conference (1980) GILBERT M
    Image not found or type unknown Glacier View Sanctuary Review Conference (1980) GILBERT M. VALENTINE Gilbert M. Valentine, Ph.D. has served internationally in teaching and senior administrative roles in Adventist higher education in Europe, Asia, the South Pacific and North America. He has written extensively in Adventist studies and has authored several books, including biographies ofW. W. Prescott (2005) and J. N. Andrews (2019). The Prophet and the Presidents (2011) explored the political influence of Ellen White. He has also written for the Ellen G. White Encyclopedia (2013). An historic and controversial theological consultation, the Sanctuary Review Committee (SRC) involved approximately one-hundred and fifteen international Bible scholars and church administrators who convened at Glacier View Ranch, forty-seven miles northwest of Denver, Colorado, from August 10-15, 1980. The unprecedented gathering was tasked with evaluating non-traditional interpretations of the Church’s sanctuary doctrine, which had caused widespread ferment when publicly expressed nine months previously by Australian theologian Desmond Ford. Former Adventist Review editor, Raymond Cottrell, described the meeting as “the most important event of this nature in Adventist history since the 1888 General Conference in Minneapolis.”1 Richard Hammill, former president of Andrews University and coordinator of the consultation, considered the meetings to have constituted “the most earnest endeavor and the greatest investment of funds and in time of Adventist workers from all parts of the world field” that had ever been given to “the discussion of a doctrinal problem in the Adventist Church.”2 Much was perceived to be at stake at the conference, both for Seventh-day Adventism’s historic identity as well as its theological claims.
