  • Psychotherapy with Seventh-Day Adventists
    PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH SEVENTH0DAY ADVENTISTS CAROLE A. RAYBURN The world, though fallen, is not all sorrow and misery. In nature itself are messages of hope and comfort. There are flowers upon the thistles, and the thorns are covered with roses. -Ellen G. White The Seventh-day Adventist Church dates from the Millerite move- ment of the mid-1800s. Conservative on most matters of morality and ethics, it is one of the few Christian denominations to have begun in North America. Also, it is one of the few denominations to have a woman as one of its founders. With its belief in the Protestant tradition, Seventh- day Adventism has conservative standards and practices concerning dress, dietary habits, abstinence from sex outside marriage, smoking and drinking alcohol, and in selection of certain types of entertainment. The 1998 Yearbook published by the General Conference of Seventh- day Adventists notes that the worldwide membership of the Church is 9,470,718 people and 4,682 churches. With 865,187 members in North America, the largest concentration of Seventh-day Adventists (SDAs) is in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Hawaii. The second largest con- centration is in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, and the third largest in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Ohio. A smaller number of SDAs reside in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, and Bermuda (General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, 1998). 21 1 The world conference of Seventh-day Adventists, the General Con- ference, is in Silver Spring, Maryland. The General Conference president meets with and advises church leaders from the 12 divisions of the Church (such as the North American Division), unions (made up of conferences or fields within a larger territory), and local conferences (comprised of churches within various cities).

  • Valuegenesis Studies
    Research on Adventist Education: ValueGenesis Studies Elementary & Secondary Education (39) Baker, G. M. (1996). Attitudes and support of Adventist ministers towards denominational K-12 schools. La Sierra University. Purpose. This study examines the attitudes of Seventh-day Adventist ministers regarding the importance of denominational elementary and secondary schools and self-perceived levels of support. The study also compares identified demographic variables in order to determine if a correlation exists between these variables and self- perceived attitudes and tangible support of denominational schools. Procedure. Survey instruments were mailed to 344 church ministers in the Southern and Southeastern California Conferences of Seventh-day Adventists. A return rate of 70.3 percent was achieved with 242 of the 344 ministers contacted returning their completed surveys. Appropriate inferential statistical tests were utilized and factor analysis was conducted on each major section of the survey instrument. Findings. The major findings were: (1) Philosophical attitudinal support for denominational schools is strong amongst Adventist ministers; (2) The tangible effort and action put forth by ministers in support of church schools is at a lower level than their verbal statements affirming intellectual belief in the importance and value of church schools; (3) Most ministers hold a strong belief that the denominational educational system is critical to the future health and survival of the church; (4) There are a number of identifiable concerns

  • 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.

    A Message from the President I am pleased to announce the 2016‐2017 edition of the University of Guam (UOG) Fact Book. The Fact Book is designed as a convenient and authoritative reference guide and as a historical record of our growing University. The book includes data and information on our faculty, students, administration, physical resources and revenue sources. For the 2016‐2017 academic year, there have been many notable accomplishments by UOG, to include: Student enrollment for Fall Semester 2016 was 3875 which is an 18% increase over student enrollment in Fall 2006, and represents on average a 2% increase per year over the past 10 years; 551 degrees were conferred, expansion of our athletic programs; the Good to Great initiative continued to be implemented helping UOG in realizing its potential; University‐generated revenues were $54.2 million of the total revenues and contributions of $89.3 million. Since our beginning in 1952 as a teacher training junior college in Mongmong, the University of Guam has grown into the largest U.S. accredited institution of higher learning on this side of the international dateline and has graduated over 17,200 students who are now engaged, dynamic professionals in Guam, our neighboring island communities and across the world. Today, the University offers 26 undergraduate degrees and 14 graduate programs. We hope that the information presented here will highlight the many facets that comprise the University of Guam and will help you gain a greater understanding of the nature of the University.
