Your decision to pursue a professional degree in this learning community says a couple of important things. First, you are awake. That is, you are alert to the presence of human suffering in this world. And you’d like to do something about it. To choose a career in healthcare is to choose a vocation of compassion. And so in your studies you will learn — even more deeply — how to see and to hear. Second, your enrollment here indicates a desire to learn how to touch. With skill. Our classrooms and laboratories are spaces where you will learn how to diagnose and treat, how to relieve pain, how to prompt healing. Your mind and your hands will gain knowledge: biological science, medical technology, and the human body itself will become subjects of discovery and expertise. The faculty and staff of Kettering College are committed to preparing you to become a compassionate and talented healthcare professional. It is our desire that you might join us in following the way of Jesus, who tenderly and effectively loved and cared for sick and broken people — bringing them gifts of healing and wholeness. I’m praying that you will enjoy a meaningful and successful school year.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

For over thirty years, the three federal agencies that administer and enforce ERISA—the Internal Revenue Service, the Depart- ment of Labor, and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Cor- poration—have interpreted the church plan exemp- tion to include pension plans maintained by otherwise qualifying organizations that are associated with or controlled by a church, whether or not a church itself established the plan. The question presented is whether the church plan exemption applies so long as a pension plan is main- tained by an otherwise qualifying church-affiliated or- ganization, or whether the exemption applies only if, in addition, a church initially established the plan.
