LOMA LINDA FOODS We serve the world church. A delegate's guide to New Orleans

By DEBORAH ANFENSON-VANCE

Before I write one word about New Orleans, conscience compels me to warn you that I have never been there, Not that I didn't ask to go. But in response, The Editor flashed an economical smile and handed me a Superdome article someone had clipped from a 1978 Time. So here I write, cloistered in my Washington, D.C. , office, trusting Fodor's guide to New Orleans, encyclopedias, and the words of a few friends. If, on the authority of this article, you end up in a café that serves alligator quiche, just realize that in some small (albeit obscure) way, you have helped the church save some money. During my lonely hours of research I entertained myself with this worst-case SDA-in-New-Orleans scenario. John and Mary Adventist faithfully attend meetings in the Superdome, filling spare minutes with old friends and GC exhibits. Then, all too soon, the fifty-fourth session ends, and Mr. and Mrs, A realize they have not seen New Orleans. So they head for the most famous attraction in the city—Bourbon Street. "What a trashy, wicked hotbed of decadence," they exclaim after viewing 13 blocks of nightclubs, striptease joints, saloons, and streetwalkers. Gratefully they stomp the dust of the city from their shoes and fly away, nevermore to return. But if we can forgive New Orleans its Bourbon Street (and a few other indiscre- tions), and if we don't leave our sightseeing to the last night, we may discover a city that will charm, delight, enrich, and educate. My only worry is that I won't get to see everything I want to. First, a bit of background The French founded New Orleans in 1718, and it remained under their control, until 1762, when France ceded it to Spain. Soon after the French regained control in Gracious elegance characterizes the architecture of New Orleans' Garden District. 1803, the United States acquired the city as part of the Louisiana Purchase.

I have it on the authority of friends that New Orleans summer weather is insufferable. July's average daily tempera- ture is 83 degrees Fahrenheit, with every degree underscored by the intense humid- ity. Whereas in the desert you might bake or roast, in New Orleans you will stew and steam. But you will survive. Because God gave man the ingenuity to invent air conditioning (9,000 tons in the Superdome alone), and because He Himself created evening and morning—cooler times of the day. Should you venture outdoors at mid- day, just remember that New Orleans accommodations are cheapest in summer. Truly the sweat of your brow will save the church all kinds of money. Just a note about resources. If you really want to pursue New Orleans seriously, you will need much more than this article.
