  • 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.

  • World Patterns of Seventh-Day Adventist Education Is the Only Description of the Church Educational System by Countries
    WORLD PA~fTERNS of Seventh-day Adventist Education WORLD PA'ITERNS of Seventh-day Adventist Education Christian EDUCAiiON An Adventist Essential Sixth Revision, 1993 Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists 12501 Old Columbia Pike, Silver Spring, MD 20904 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface ..................................................... 3 Placement Recommendations ..................................... 4 Abbreviations and Symbols . 5 Categories of Seventh-day Adventist Schools . 6 Abbreviated Symbols for Countries without SDA Schools ................. 7 Patterns of SDA Education (Countries in Alphabetical Order) . 9 Bibliography . 187 Index of Names and Places . 195 3 PREFACE The General Conference Department of Education coordinates the educational work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church from a global perspective. World Patterns of Seventh-day Adventist Education is the only description of the church educational system by countries. A United Nations list of 218 countries has been used. This sixth edition of World Patterns has grouped in each country secondary and tertiary schools, and uses the official name in the language of the country, as it appears on all legal documents. (Non-English names can be traced to the SPA Yearbook by using the latter's General Index at the back of the book. Sharp's QlossaJY should be used for translating unfamiliar non-English educational terms). Curricula and credentials required for teaching in SDA schools are described as far as possible even where these are not obtainable within the SPA system in the country. This document will be updated from time to time. School entrance age is 6 unless otherwise indicated. An underlined initial means the program is government recognized. The division of the General Conference to which a country belongs is indicated in parentheses according to the code given under "Abbreviations and Symbols." Staffing of colleges and complete secondary schools can be found in the SPA Yearbook.

  • Sabbath School: the Church at Study Vantage Point Managing Fear
    March 2014 SOUTHERN Sabbath School: The Church at Study Vantage Point Managing Fear Philippians 4 gives a formula for managing fear. When people are poised to re- joice, be gentle, pray, think, and act in accordance with God’s revealed will, there is progress toward the management of fear and control over anxiety. Various studies of military personnel on combat duty in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, reveal a few ways by which people defend themselves against fear. First, there is the development of self- confidence — a belief in one’s abilities to meet the challenges and dangers of life. Second, there is involvement in work and other activities that expends nervous energy and distracts from the fear-producing situation. This can be a healthy way to prevent excessive fear, unless the work becomes compulsive and a way to escape from the real dangers of life. Third, there is faith in the ability and confidence of leaders who can deal with the fear. Fourth, there is belief in God. Here are a few recommendations I will extend to you to address anxiety prevailing in the lives of people who suffer with inordinate concern and fear for the future: 1. Trust in God. The person who learns to walk in daily contact with God comes to agree with the hymn writer who wrote, “I know not what the future holds, but I know who holds the future.” This conviction can bring great security even when others are inclined to be fearful. At times, however, such trust leads to a blind denial of reality, to a refusal to ac- cept responsibilities, to a rigidity of thinking that ultimately prevents the person from adapting to changing circumstances.

  • TRAINING for the SERVICE of CHRIST Education —
    AUGUST 2021 Education — TRAINING FOR THE SERVICE OF CHRIST ADVENTIST WATCHMEN ON LOVE, JOY, PEACE: FREELY YE HAVE EDUCATORS THE WALLS STORIES OF RECEIVED... SERVE WITH LOVE SPIRITUAL CARE vantagepoint Freedom “Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation,” Exodus 15:13. These refugees from Pharaoh’s oppression had a dangerous start to their flight. Untrained in war, taking with them women and children, the old and the very young, they trekked off toward the Red Sea. In a matter of hours, Egyp- tian armies raised dust on the western horizon. Would Israel’s flight be nothing more than an excuse for slaughter, plunder, and rape before their former masters herded them back to the clay pits and brick kilns? Relief workers among refugees talk of the terror of escape and the torture of the captured displaced by national and international conflict. Media outlets have reported and documented multiple atrocities performed against innocent people as they have fled to freedom. Ron C. Smith, D.Min., Ph.D. We know how God redeemed Israel. For generations, their prophets and President of the Southern poets sang of that deliverance. Egypt came to epitomize spiritual oppression by Union Conference satanic forces. God still called His people out, but now He would deliver them from sin. As the song of victory went up on the far side of the Red Sea, the people chorused in unison, “The Lord is a man of war.” Later they would remember this.

  • Reading Tidings of the Southern Union Adventist Family the Adventist EDGE Where Students Come First Vantage Point
    May 2008 SOUTHERN Spreading Tidings of the Southern Union Adventist Family The Adventist EDGE Where Students Come First Vantage Point Do Adventist Schools Measure Up? Parents want to know if Seventh-day Adventist schools are measuring up when it comes to academic excellence. It’s a legitimate question. We know Adventist educa- tion makes a difference when it comes to spiritual values and helping students with life choices. We also have confidence in a curriculum that is overt in its understand- ing and acceptance; for example, of God as Creator and that the only solution for sin is Jesus. We are very confident that students will study in an environment where teachers and students pray and study God’s Word together. I have also heard the inquiry from parents regarding the achievement levels of students in our schools. How do we compare to large public schools, for example, when it comes to testing outcomes? We need the facts to help parents make the best decisions. In 2006, the Church in North America began a major study — CognitiveGenesis. The study tested more than 30,000 students, grades 3-9 and 11, in all conferenc- es in the North American Division. The standardized tests given in the United States were the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, Iowa Tests of Educational Development, and the Cognitive Abilities Test. In order for the research to be valid, the results needed to be “controlled for cognitive ability.” In other words, each student’s achievement level can be predicted based on the student’s score on the cognitive ability tests.

This was to be the work of redemption. This is the object of education, the great object of life.” Education, for Carolina p. 15. By Seventh-day Adventists believe in Christian education because L. C . S tannard they continue to expand on every level from elementary school, to Educational Superintendent the academy, the college and the university. Christian education is the biggest single business in this denomination. Elder L. C. Stannard explains expected growth of edu­ cational needs. In our conference, each year has shown a steady increase in enrollment in our schools. In the past biennium period we had an increase of nearly 200 students over the previous one. All reports, I am sure, will show that during the 1964-65 school year, we will have at least 1,000 students getting a Christian education in our conference. W e have had to add 12 additional teachers to elemen­ tary-intermediate teaching staff this fall. Three new schools opened to serve their districts. Tw o more schools Would have opened had we been able to find competent, certified teachers. Nearly every district in our conference has a church school and some have two! Mount Pisgah Academy receives the majority of our students when they leave their home church schools.
