  • Foreign Missionary Program of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church
    Trim: Foreign Missionary Program D. J. B. Trim Foreign Missionary Program of the Seventh-day Adventist Church Introduction This article presents a concise history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s foreign missionary program, which would be true even of the full version: I have written rather more than can be presented even in the generous allocation of length. However, the exercise of elaborating the history has allowed me to identify, I hope, the key points. Even a longer history is far from a complete history of what A. G. Daniells, 111 years ago, called the Adventist “mission enterprise.”1 But as my team and I came to realize in doing the research for this history, the volume of documenta- tion in the General Conference (GC) Archives (much less other collections) means that writing a truly comprehensive history is at least conceivable. This article presents sketches, or outline histories, albeit anchored in the original sources. Something that is omitted from both the longer history and from my two articles are stories of the men and women who served the church in foreign climes and cultures. I hope that IPRS will commis- sion a study of Adventist missionaries, drawing on each appointee’s file; which is something I have discussed with secretariat, which would yield rich insights that could improve our systems, but would also make it pos- sible to tell the story of mission service from the missionaries’ point of view. These two articles give the perspective of the world headquarters. Although not as exciting as the stories of missionaries, denominational infrastructure is the indispensable foundation of missionary service.

  • The Theme of This Talk, and This Conference, Is the Renewal of University Museums
    Museums for the Future: Recognising new relevance for University Museums Kate Arnold-Forster University of Reading The theme of this talk, and this conference, is the renewal of university museums. Its aim is to ask how as curators and managers to secure not only the survival of the collections we care for, but also how to ensure they contribute in relevant ways to the institutions to which they belong. All of us, who work with university museums probably agree that the answer, in theory, is short and simple – we need to find ways of making our University’s take notice, appreciate what these museums and collections do and support them accordingly. But how to do this is not always that obvious. So my talk is an account of the approach we took at the University of Reading. This case study looks back over a process (and the lessons learnt) whereby the University took steps to establish a co-ordinated and strategic approach to the management of its university museums, alongside a period of major regeneration that has seen capital improvements of more than £12million and the reinvigoration of its collections. To put Reading’s story in context, I want to start by saying something about the position of UK university museums today and how this has developed in recent years. Many working in the University museums sector will agree that we can look back over a period, in the past decade, of immense change for University Museums, one in which their profile has been transformed, partly by the concentration of major redevelopment in the sector, but also by renewed recognition of their value and importance.
