SDA ChurchManual is very useful for all members of the SDA Church andLeaders and others who want to know more about and HisChurch TheSeventh Day Of Adventist Church. Why does seventh dayAventist Church have church leadership? God is the God of order, which is referred to in His works of creation and redemption. Therefore, order belongs to the essence of His church. Order is achieved by the principles and regulations that guide the Church in its intervention and in the fulfillment of its mission into the world. In order for it to be a successful church organization in the service of the Lord and humanity, it needs order, rule, and discipline. Scripture confirms that everything is done in dignity and order (1 Cor.14:40). Church leadership has been operating in the current format since 1932. It describes the operations and functions of local churches and the relationship to thedenominal structures of the Church leadership divided into two types of material. The content of each chapter is worldwide and applies to every church organization, congregation, and member of the Church. Recognizing the need for variations in some sections, additional explanatory materials presented as agida and examples appear as notes at the end of the ChurchManual. The notes have subtitles corresponding to the chapters and pages numbers of the main text. Church standards and practices are based on HolyScriptures. These principles, emphasized by the Spirit of Prophecy, are outlined in this Church Guide. They should be followed in allmateriachities in the administration and functioning of localchurches. Church leadership also defines the relationship between the local congregation and the conference or other events of the Adventist confessional organization. Noattempts must be made to create membership standards or make, orattempt to enforce, rules or rules for localchurchoperations that contradict these decisions made by the General Conference in the session and which are outlined in thisChurchManual. Revised 201519th Edition Download Seventh Day Adventist Church Guide in PDF Format Why Seventh Day Churches have church leadership? God is there The God of order, as evidenced by His works of creation and redemption. Therefore, order belongs to the essence of His church. Order is achieved on the basis of the principles and rules that guide the Church in its internal operations and in fulfilling its mission in the world. In order to be a successful church organization in the service of the Lord and humanity, it needs order, rule, and discipline. Scripture says that everything is done in dignity and order (1 Cor. 14:40). Ellen G. White pointed to such needs in 1875: The Church of Christ is in constant danger. Satan seeks to destroy the people of God, and the mind of one man, the judgment of one man, is not enough to be trusted. Christ would like His followers to come together in a church capacity, keeping order, having rules and discipline, and all obey each other, honoring others better than themselves. --3T 445.But Church leaders did not quickly release a book of rules of Church governance, although the general conference was held annually at a session in the early years of the church, and delegates voted on issues of church order and life. Finally, in 1882, the General Conference of the session voted to prepare instructions to church officers, which would be printed in the Review and The Herald or in the form of treatises. --RH, December 26, 1882. This shows the growing awareness that order is needed to ensure that an organization functions effectively and that uniformity in order requires that its guidelines be printed. However, when the suggestion that articles should be permanent as church leadership came before the 1883 general conference session, delegates rejected the idea. They feared that the leadership might formalize the Church and give its pastors their individual freedom to deal with order at will. But this fear certainly reflects the opposition that existed 20 years ago in any organization - apparently soon diminished. The annual sessions of the general conference continued to take action on issues of order. Although the Church officially refused to accept leadership, leaders from time to time gathered together in a book or booklet in the form of generally accepted rules of church life. Perhaps most impressive was the 184-page book, published in 1907 by pioneer J.N. Loughborough, called the Church, its organization, order and discipline, which dealt with many of the topics now covered by this Church Manual.As the Church grew rapidly in the early twentieth century, it increasingly recognized the need for leadership for the worldwide use of its pastors and laymen. In 1931, the General Conference Committee voted to publish the Church's leadership. J. L. McElhany, later president of general conference, prepared a manuscript that published in 1932.The introductory preface of that first edition noted that it became it is obvious that in order to publish and preserve our confessional practice and statehood, we need guidance on church governance. Notice the word save. This was not an attempt to suddenly create and impose an entire model of Church governance on the Church. Rather, it was an attempt to first preserve all the good things that have been taken over the years, and then add the rules required by the growing growth and complexity of the Church.

White James White J. N. Andrews J. H. Kellogg F. D. Nichol M. L. Andreasen H. M. S. Richards Herbert E. Douglas Morris Wenden Samuel Bacchiocchi E. E. Cleveland Walter Weit , the seventh day of Adventist Church had its roots in the Millerite movement of the 1830s to the 1840s, during the , and was officially founded in 1863. Prominent figures in the early church included , (husband of Ellen G. White), Joseph Bates, and J. N. Andrews. Over the following decades, the church expanded from its original base in New England to become an international organization. Significant events such as those initiated by evangelicals Donald Barnhouse and Walter Martin led to his recognition as a Christian denomination in the 20th century. Funds, 1798-1820s The Second Great Awakening, Revival of the Movement took place in the early 19th century. The Second Great Awakening was stimulated by the founding of many Bible societies that sought to address the lack of available Bibles. The spread of the Bible allowed many who did not have one to be able to acquire and study it themselves, rather than just hear it preached, and led to the creation of many reform movements aimed at correcting the evil society before the expected of Jesus Christ. Many religious minorities were formed from the Congregational, Presbyterian and Baptist and Methodist churches. Some of these movements held beliefs that were later accepted by Seventh Day Adventists. Interest in the prophecy was sparked by some Protestant groups after the arrest of Pius VI in 1798 by French General Louis Alexander Berthier. The forerunners of the Adventist movement believed that this event marked the end of the 1,260-day prophecy from the Book of Daniel. Some people began to look at the 2,300-day prophecy found in Daniel 8:14. Interest in the prophecy also fell to the Roman when an exiled Jesuit priest named Manuel de Lacugna published a manuscript calling for renewed interest in the Second Coming of Christ. Its publication caused a wave, but was later condemned by Pope Leo XII in 1824. As a result of the pursuit of religious freedom, many revivals have entered the United States in an effort to avoid persecution. A prophetic diagram from 1843, illustrating the many interpretations of the prophecy, bringing the roots of the Millerites in 1843, the main article of 1831-1844: The Great Disappointment of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church was formed from a movement known today as the Millerites. In 1831, a Baptist convert, William Miller, asked a Baptist to preach in their church and began preaching that the Second Coming of Jesus would occur sometime between March 1843 and March 1844, based on his interpretation of Daniel 8:14. The following gathered around Miller which included much from the Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian and Christian Union Churches. In the summer of 1844, some of Miller's followers raised the date of October 22. They linked the purification of The Sanctuary of Daniel 8:14 to the Jewish Day of Atonement, which is believed to have been on October 22 of the same year. By 1844, more than 100,000 people were expecting what Miller called Blessed Hope. On October 22, many believers watched late at night, waiting for Christ's return, and were bitterly disappointed when both the sunset and midnight passed with unfulfilled expectations. This event later became known as the Great Disappointment. The pre-denominational years, 1844-1860, Edson and the After the disappointment of October 22, many of Miller's followers were left upset and disappointed. Most believe in the imminent return of Jesus. Some felt that the date was wrong. Some thought the date was correct, but the expected event was wrong. This last group became the Seventh Day Adventist Church. One of the Adventists, Hiram Edson (1806-1882) wrote: Our warmest hopes and expectations were blown up, and such a spirit of weeping came to us as I had never experienced before. It seemed that the loss of all earthly friends could not be a comparison. We cried, and cried, until dawn of the day. On the morning of October 23, Edson, who lived in Port Gibson, New York, was passing through his grain field with a friend. He later recounted his experience: We started, and after going through a big field, I was stopped about halfway through the field. The heavens seemed open to me, and I saw clearly that instead of our high priest coming out of the Holy Heavenly Sanctuary to come to this earth on the tenth day of the seventh month, at the end of 2,300 days (calculated on October 22, 1844), He entered that day for the first time in the second apartment of this sanctuary; and that He had a job to do in the Holy before coming to earth. Edson shared his experience with many local Adventists who were very excited about his account. As a result, he began studying the Bible with two other believers in the area, O.R.L. Crosier and Franklin B. Khan, who published their findings in an article titled Day-Dawn. This article examined the biblical parable of the Ten Virgins and attempted to explain why the groom had forced marriage. The article also discusses the concept of the day of redemption and what the authors called our chronology of events. The findings published by Crosier, Khan, and Edson led to a new understanding of the sanctuary in heaven. Their work explained how there was a sanctuary in heaven that Christ, the high priest, had to cleanse. The believers understood that this purification was what the 2,300 days in Daniel had been talking about. George Knight wrote, Although initially it was the smallest of the post-Millerite groups, she saw herself as the true successor to the once powerful Millerite movement. This view was supported by Ellen White. However, Seeking Sanctuary sees it more as an offshoot of the Millerite movement. Adventists Sabbath and Shut Door were disjointed, but gradually appeared. Only Joseph Bates had any significance in the Millerite movement. Adventists considered themselves heirs to earlier rogue believers such as the Valdens, Protestant reformers, including adaptists, English and Scottish Puritans, 18th-century evangelicals, including Methodists, Seventh-day Baptists and others who rejected established church traditions. Saturday's observance develops and unites the main article: Saturday and the seventh day of Adventism A young Seventh-day Baptist layman named , who lives in New Hampshire, was responsible for the introduction of Saturday for the Millerite Adventists. Thanks to her influence, Frederick Wheeler, a local Methodist Adventist preacher, began supporting the seventh day as a Sabbath, probably in the early spring of 1844. Several members of the Washington, New Hampshire church he occasionally called for, also followed his decision. Among them are William and Cyrus Farnsworth. T. M. Preble soon accepted it either from Wheeler or directly from Oakes. These events were soon followed by the Great Disappointment. Preble promoted Saturday through the February 28, 1845 question of the Hope of Israel. In March, he published his Saturday views in the form of treatises. Although he returned to watching Sunday in the next few years, his writing convinced Joseph Bates and J. N. Andrews. These people, in turn, convinced James and Ellen White, as well as Hiram Edson and hundreds of others. Bates proposed a meeting between the faithful in New Hampshire and Port Gibson. At this meeting, which took place sometime in 1846 at Edson's Farm, Edson and other Port Gibson believers readily accepted The Sabbath and at the same time forged an alliance with Bates and two other people from New Hampshire who later became very influential in the Adventist Church, James and Ellen G. White. Between April 1848 and December 1850, twenty-two Saturday conferences were held in New York and New England. These meetings are often seen as an opportunity for leaders such as James White, Joseph Bates, Stephen Pierce and Hiram Edson to discuss and draw conclusions on doctrinal issues. Although it was originally thought that the Sabbath began at 6 p.m., by 1855 it was accepted that the Sabbath day began on Friday at sunset. True Truth (see below) was initially largely devoted to the Sabbath. J.N. Andrews was the first Adventist to write a book in defense of the Sabbath, first published in 1861. Trinthianism When the church was formed in the 19th century, many of the Adventist leaders held an anti-Stalinist view, thanks to the many anti-Stalinist Christian communication ministers entering the former Millerite times. Ellen G. White never entered the discussion on the subject, but made some very trinitarian statements in her book The Desire of the Ages and transcripts of her sermons in the early 1900s, which showed that she identifies the Holy Spirit as man and one of the three holy beings. Modern Seventh-day Adventists, anti-Trinitarian, are in the minority, but they claim that these transcripts are inaccurate verbatim reports that do not reflect its true teachings. The Church's researchers note that the transcripts were in her possession, and she could have altered them at any time if they reflected version of what she said, given the given the doctrinal importance of the topic is perceived. In 1855, James White made his view clear: Here we could mention the , which will drink the personality of God, and his Son jesus Christ... In 1856, he again made his position clear, saying, The biggest mistake we can find in the Reformation is that the Reformers stopped reforming. If they had gone on and on until they had left the last vestige of the papacy behind, such as natural immortality, spraying, trinity, and Sunday-storage, the church would now be free of its biblical errors. Lemyl Sapian writes: ... at the dawn of the 20th century, it was obvious to many that the previous position taken by the Adventists against the Trinity was wrong. This was not because of any internal conspiracy or intervention of third parties intending to dilute the distinctive Adventist message, but because the feather of Inspiration (Ellen G. White) took action - and men... took in the eyelid. After the grief of Premillennialism Starting with the teachings of William Miller, Adventists played a key role in the introduction of the biblical doctrine of premillennialism in the United States. They believe that the saints will be accepted or collected by Christ in the Kingdom of God in heaven at the end of the Tribulation in the Second Millennium. In an annex to his book The Kingdom of Cults, where Walter Martin explains why Seventh-day Adventists are accepted as Orthodox Christians (see pg 423), Martin also summarizes the key role that Adventists played in promoting pre-linism in the 19th century. From the outset, Adventists were treated with serious suspicion by the vast majority of evangelical Christians, mainly because Seventh-day Adventists were premillennial in their teachings. That is, they believed that Christ would come before the millennium... Some authors of that time considered premillennarians to be peculiar ... and called the Adventist of all who believe that the opinion of eschatology - The Kingdom of Cults p419-420 However the unique contribution of the Seventh Day Adventists to this doctrine does not stop there. Seventh-day Adventists are pre-millennials after the mourning who take the teachings of the Bible for literally 1,000 years in Revelation 20, which immediately follows the literally second coming of Christ described in Revelation 19. Unlike almost all groups of prize-finalists, they do not believe in the 1,000-year-old kingdom on Earth for millennia. In Adventist eschatology, Christ's promise to take the saints to His Father's house in John 14:1-3 is fulfilled in the 2nd coming, where both living and dead saints are taken into the air to meet the Lord (see 1Thess 4:13-18). John, the author of Revelation, calls this moment the first resurrection in Revelation 20:5-6. Instead of the Millennial Kingdom on earth, Adventists teach that it is only a devastated land for 1,000 years, and during this time the saints are in heaven with Christ (see Jeremiah 4:23-29). Adventist publishing begins with the first edition of The True Truth on November 18, 1848, and Ellen White had a vision in which God told her that her husband should get started. In 1849, James, deciding to publish this article, went to work as a farm hand to raise sufficient funds. After another vision, she told James that he had to not worry about the funds, but when he started working on the production of paper for printing. James readily obeyed, writing with a pocket Bible, cruded Crudn's consent and an abbreviated dictionary with one of his covers. Thanks to the printer's generous proposal to defer fees, the Advent believer group had 1,000 copies of the first printed publication. They sent a post that was on the subject of Saturday to friends and colleagues who they thought would find it interesting. Eleven issues were published in 1849 and 1850. Formal organization and further growth, 1860-80 Choice of name and constitution In 1860, the young movement finally settled on the name, Seventh Day Adventist, representative of the distinctive beliefs of the church. Three years later, on May 21, 1863, the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference was formed, and the movement became an official organization. The annual regional assembly of the camp The first annual regional camp meeting took place in September 1868. Since then, the annual regional gathering of camps has become a model among seventh-day Adventists and has been practiced to this day. The influence of Ellen G. White Ellen G. White (1827-1915), not playing any official role, was a dominant personality. Together with her husband, James White and Joseph Bates, she transferred the denomination to a missionary and medical work center. Mission and medical work continue to play a central role in the 21st century. Under White's leadership, the denomination in the 1870s turned to missionary work and rebirth, three times to 16,000 by 1880; rapid growth continued, from 75,000 members in 1901. By that time, there were two colleges, a medical school, a dozen academies, 27 hospitals and 13 publishing houses. By 1945, the church had reported 226,000 members in the United States and Canada and 380,000 in other countries; budget was $29 million and church enrolment was 40,000. In 1960, there were 1,245,125 members in the world with an annual budget of more than $99,900,000. Enrollment in church schools from primary to secondary school amounted to 290,000 students. By 2000, there were 11,687,229 members in the world. The global budget was $28,610,881,313. And enrollment in schools amounted to 1,065,092 students. In 2008, global membership was 15,921,408 with a budget of $45,789,067,340. The number of students in the SDA is managed and primary schools amounted to 1,538,607. The political views of the Seventh Day Adventists participated in the Temperance Movement in the late 1800s and early 1900s. At the same time, they became actively involved in promoting religious freedom. They followed American politics closely, comparing current events with predictions in the Bible. The seventh day means that compliance with the original Saturday, Saturday, is still a sacred obligation. Adventists argued that, like the other Ten Commandments, the ban was not revised, and the prohibition to remember the Sabbath to keep it holy remained in full force. This theological moment turned the young group into a powerful force of religious freedom. Growing up in full growth in the late 19th and early 20th century, these Adventists opposed Sunday laws on all sides. Many of them were arrested for work on Sunday. In the fight against the real threat of the National Day of Worship established by the Law, these had to fight for their freedom on a daily basis. They soon fought for religious freedom on a broader, less parochial basis. The efforts of the Adventists of the world mission to proclaim their message around the world began with the publication. In 1874, J.N. Andrews became the first official Adventist missionary to travel abroad. Working in Switzerland, he sought to organize Saturday companies under one umbrella. In the 1890s, Adventists began to enthusiastically promote a worldwide mission. World Vision and Growing Pain, 1880-1915 Church Membership Schedule Over Time 1888 General Conference Home Article: 1888 Minneapolis General Conference in 1888, General Conference Session occurred in Minneapolis. At this session, there was a discussion between the then President of general conference, G.I. Butler; Review Editor, Uria Smith; and a group led by E.J. Waggoner and A. T. Jones on the meaning of Righteous Faith and the meaning of the law in the Romans and Galatians. Ellen G. White also spoke at the conference. Organizational development since the early 1860s the church had three levels of government: the local church, conference and general conference. As ideas were developed, organizations emerged to move these ideas forward; i.e. Saturday schools, health care reform and health care, printing, literature distribution, freedom of religion, missions, etc. all moved forward within the societies created for this purpose. As work progressed, the management of all these societies became rather cumbersome. As conferences were held in distant lands, it became apparent that the General Conference could not oversee the needs of conferences. This led to the development of Union conferences in and Europe in the late 1890s and to the development of areas in the United States. 1901 and 1903 The conference session reorganized the structure of the church to include trade union conferences that managed a group of local conferences in their field. By the end of 1904, various public interest were incorporated into the structure of each conference as departments. Ellen White, of Christ And Adventist Schools, describes how her book ,Edged by Christ's Objects has become a part of the financial support of Adventist schools: I am so grateful for the work that the lessons of Christ's object have done and are still doing. When this book was in preparation, I expected to use the funds coming from the sale of this book in the preparation and publication of several other books. But the Lord put it in my mind to give this book to our schools to be used in freeing them from debt. I asked our publishers to join me in this gift by donating the publication account. They willingly agreed to this. A fund was raised to pay for materials used in printing books, and campaigners and people sold the book without commission. Thus, the book was distributed in all parts of the world. It has been adopted with great benefit all over the world. Ministers of all faiths have written reviews, recommend it. The Lord has prepared the way for his reception so that at least 200,000 people will have already been sold. The funds raised in this way have gone far towards freeing our schools from debts that have been accumulating over the years. Our publishing houses have printed 300,000 copies, free of charge, and they have been distributed in various societies of treatises to be sold by our people. The Lord has made the sale of this book a means of teaching our people how to connect with those who are not their faith, and how to convey to them the knowledge of the truth during that time. Many have been transformed by reading this book. In 1902, those associated with Healdsburg College, now The Pacific College of the Union, spent a week selling lessons from Christ's facilities. They first read the book together. Then each student was given six books for sale. Territories were designated and within a week the school suspended classes in order to sell books. The college church took territory immediately surrounding the church while students gave the territory further away from the school. A message to the world after John Andrews went to Europe, others also came out. Someone to Africa, some to Asia, and someone to Australasia. (quote needed) Beginning of the 20th century, 1915-1930 See also: the 1919 Bible Conference and the 1952 Bible Conference Fundamentalism and Progress Ellen G. White died in 1915, and Adventist leaders participated in a number of prophetic conferences during and shortly after World War I. The 1919 Bible Conference examined how Adventists interpreted the biblical prophecy and the legacy of Ellen White's writings. It also had a polarizing about Adventist theology with leaders such as A.G. Daniels and W.W. Prescott questioning some of the traditional views held by others like Benjamin G. Wilkinson, JS Washburn, and Claude Holmes. Fundamentalism was dominant in the church in the early 20th century. George Knight dates it from 1919 to 1950. The redacted transcripts of the 1952 Bible Conference were published as the Our Firm Foundation. Mid-20th century World War II in southern Europe, as soon as the war broke out, most church workers of military age were drafted into the army. The church has lost union and local conference presidents, pastors, evangelists and institutional workers. When the Nazis occupied France, they dissolved the conference and all churches, confiscated church buildings and banned church work. In Croatia, all Adventist churches were closed and the conference dissolved. All church and evangelical work is strictly prohibited. More in Romania, where there were more than 25,000 Adventists, union conferences, six local conferences, and all churches were also dissolved. More than three hundred Adventist chapels, a publishing house in Bucharest and a school in Brasov were taken from the church. All church funds were taken. Three thousand Adventists were imprisoned. They were tortured and insulted. The work of the church was under creative cover. It was reported that the baptized people were finishing school and receiving diplomas. One minister reported the life insurance policies sold. Another reported collecting 253 baskets of fruit. End of the 20th century See also: Historical Adventism, Progressive Adventism, and Ellen White's Inspiration - New Information In the Mid-1970s, two different factions were manifested in Seventh Day Adventism. The protection of many Adventist positions until 1950 was a conservative wing, while more liberal Adventism emphasized the beliefs of Evangelical Christianity. During the 1970s, the Review and the Herald included articles by editor Kenneth Wood and assistant editor Herbert Douglas on issues on doctrine, as well as articles with strong arguments in support of the final ideal generation. Editors began emphasizing views that were traditional views in the church prior to the doctrine issues, such as the sinless perfection of the last generation, which was opposed by many progressive Adventists, and the general conference addressed this debate over righteousness of faith by attending a conference in Palmdale, California in 1976. Ford was the focus and the document was known as the Palmdale Statement. At the 1980 general conference in Dallas, the church's first official declaration of belief was prepared, voted for by a world body called 27 fundamental beliefs. (Since then, this list of beliefs has been expanded to the current 28 pillars). 's dismissal Article: The glacial kind of controversy of 1980 also saw a minor crisis over the investigative sentencing of teaching, known as the glacier view controversy. This hastened the controversy within the church, but the mainstream believes in doctrine and the church reaffirmed its basic position on doctrine, although some in the church wing more liberal continued the controversy in the 21st century. Ford raised questions about the Court and later asked for his seventh-day Adventist Church to be terminated in addition to doctrinal disagreements. In 1990, the ordination of women was considered during the General Conference in Indianapolis and in 1995 at the General Conference in Utrecht, but they refused. In 2012, 16 female pastors were approved for ordination at the Columbia Union Conference. In addition, in the same year, the General Conference established a Committee on the Study of Ordination theology to examine the issue of the ordination of women. In 2015, at a business conference session in San Antonio, Texas, a majority of delegates voted against a proposal to allow secessions to ordain women. At the beginning of the 21st century, the number of Adventists continued to grow, and church members around the world began using YouTube and other online media to communicate. These messages included video messages from then-President George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton to Adventists. A membership survey found that an average of about 2,900 people join the Seventh Day Adventist Church each day, showing that the denomination now has 16.6 million adult baptized members according to church statistics. Confessional membership showed strong growth, and a membership audit showed in 2009, as the church had a net profit of more than one million members for the seventh consecutive year. But David Trim, director of archives, statistics and research, who said the figures were not entirely accurate, said the accounting system was not ideal and audits were more likely to reduce the total membership than 16.5 million. Spiritual formation In the second decade of the 21st century, retired pastor Rick Howard brought what he considered the dangers of the Spiritual Formation to the attention of the Adventist Church. Other Adventists, such as Pastor Hal Meyer, and Derek Morris have also expressed concern. The official church newspaper, the Adventist Review, published articles outlining the effects of spiritualism coming into the Christian Church through the teachings of Spiritual Education. Howard wrote The Rise of the Omega, in which he warned of the dangers of the emerging church movement. He defined the teachings of Spiritual Education, Contemplative Prayer, Postmodern Spirituality, Meditation, Immersed in Eastern Mysticism Dangerous. In his keynote address in July 2010, Ted N.C. Wilson, the newly elected president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, advised, Stay away from non-white spiritual disciplines or methods of spiritual education that are rooted in mysticism, such as contemplative prayer, centered prayer, and the emerging church movement in which they advance. Instead, he said, believers should look into the Seventh-day Adventist Church to have humble pastors, evangelicals, biblical scholars, leaders and department directors who can provide evangelical methods and programs that are based on solid biblical principles and the theme of the Great Controversy. Members were also warned about the use of discernment in worship styles: Use Bible-based Christ-based services and musical practices in Church worship services, Wilson said. While we understand that worship and culture are changing all over the world, don't go back to the confusing pagan environment, where music and worship become so focused on emotion and experience that you lose focus on the Word of God. All services, however simple or complex, should do only one thing: raise Christ and belt themselves. In the creative work of the 2014 documentary War on Heaven, War on Earth: The Birth of a Seventh-Day Adventist Church during the American Civil War, Chris Small and Lauren Smol look at the history of Adventism from the Millerite movement until 1865.
