But while the whether or not women can be ordained as pastors. call to elder, deacon, and deaconess is signified by What is not so well known is how long it took for ordination, the call to pastor (for a woman) is signified women to be ordained as deaconesses. by commissioning.

Though it is God who changes people, the early Adventists employed specific spiritual practices to place themselves in His presence. Research revealed five main spiritual disciplines that shaped the Advent leaders and by extension the church. The first is Bible study: placing the Holy Scriptures as the foundation for all beliefs. The second is prayer: communication and communion with God.

  • Ron Numbers Collection-- the Creationists
    Register of the Ron Numbers Collection-- The Creationists Collection 178 Center for Adventist Research James White Library Andrews University Berrien Springs, Michigan 49104-1400 1992, revised 2007 Ron Numbers Collection--The Creationists (Collection 178) Scope and Content This collection contains the records used as resource material for the production of Dr. Numbers' book, The Creationists, published in 1992. This book documents the development of the creationist movement in the face of the growing tide of evolution. The bulk of the collection dates from the 20th century and covers most of the prominent, individual creationists and pro-creation groups of the late 19th and 20th century primarily in the United States, and secondarily, those in England, Australia, and Canada. Among the types of records included are photocopies of articles and other publications, theses, interview tapes and transcripts, and official publications of various denominations. One of the more valuable contributions of this collection is the large quantity of correspondence of prominent individuals. These records are all photocopies. A large section contains documentation related to Seventh-day Adventist creationists. Adventists were some of the leading figures in the creationist movement, and foremost among this group is George McCready Price. The Adventist Heritage Center holds a Price collection. The Numbers collection contributes additional correspondence and other documentation related to Price. Arrangement Ron Numbers organized this collection for the purpose of preparing his book manuscript, though the book itself is not organized in this way. Dr. Numbers suggested his original arrangement be retained. While the collection is arranged in its original order, the outline that follows may be of help to some researchers.

In the book from which these words are taken, Dick elaborated further on Bates's key role. His critical contributions were "maturity, good health, natural leadership, and prestige. He had successfully commanded all manner of men for two decades. He had been one of the recognized outstanding leaders of the 1844 movement." Actually, "he was, in effect, the fast general conference executive in that he was chairman of the general conferences regularlyH (Founders ofthe Menage Washington, DC: Review and Herald, 19381, 150). Ellen White does not address the issue of Bates's leadership role in founding the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The researcher d search in vain through her voluminous writings for evaluative statements concerning Bates that would lend any sigmficant support to Knight's analysis. Kmght's pointed reaction to this clear lack of support for his thesis is provocative: "On a more personal level are the evaluations of the Whites, the two individuals who with Bates founded the Seventh-day Adventist Church," Knight has written in the concludmg section of his work. "Ellen White was quite parsimonious in her remembrances . [while] James was a little more effusive" (209). If I may suggest an agenda item for the next edition of this valuable work, it would involveJoseph Bates as a case study in the positive utilization of power, based on sound character developed during his years of command at sea when, as captain, he possessed perhaps the ultimate of almost unlimited power over the men under him.

  • 1 Big History, the Big Bang, and the Big Book: the History of Science
    Big History, the Big Bang, and the Big Book: The History of Science Meets the Tradition of Christianity Course Context In the 1980s, historian David Christian embarked on a delightfully daring journey: to narrate the entire history of the world from its origins to the present. Ignoring the sacred cow of academic specialization, in which academics are only encouraged to speak about their immediate areas of intellectual concentration, Christian coined the term “Big History” to refer to the history of the cosmos in all of its fourteen-billion years of glory. Even though he was an Australian historian of Russia, with little formal training in science, Christian began teaching history in a way that no one had quite done before. As David Christian was attempting to understand the evolution of history across fourteen billion years, many conservative Christians were actively vilifying the consensus of scientists when it came to the age of the universe, the age of earth, and the origins of human life. Kenneth Ham, an Australian like David Christian who is also around the same age, is at the forefront of creationist apologetics. Ham founded the Creation Museum and he is president of a highly influential organization that teaches young-earth creationism and rejects the methodologies and assumptions of mainstream science. Who is right, David Christian or Ken Ham? And what difference does it make anyway? Course Description In Big History, the Big Bang, and the Big Book, we will explore the intersection between the history of mainstream science and the beliefs of evangelical Christianity. As we look at each of the major branches of science, we will do so with an eye toward understanding how it impacts the thought and practice of Protestant evangelicalism.

    HEAVEN BOUND, EARTHLY GOOD: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF RACE RELATIONS IN THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFiLLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY JONATHAN GRANT DEPARTMENT OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES STUDIES ATLANTA, GEORGIA MAY 2010 ABSTRACT AFRICAN-AJ~4zEpJcM~ STUDIES GRANT, JONATHAN BA. OAKWOOD UNIVERITY, 2007 HEAVEN BOUND, EARTHLY GOOD: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF RACE RELATIONS IN THE SEVENTH-DAy ADVENTIST CHURCH Advisor: Dr. Josephine Bradley Thesis dated May 2010 The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a denomination that has contributed much to the development of American society. Although the Church is a religious and social institution, its views on race in America have changed over the years, from its abolitionist approach during the mid 19th century to its stance of non-involvement during the Civil Rights Movement. By studying the race relations in the Adventist Church, this thesis reveals the factors that may have caused its position of non-intervention during the Civil Rights Movement. The thesis analyzes the development of black/white race relations in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and how it has led to the Church’s stance regarding race during the Civil Rights Movement. The functionalist theory is utilized to elucidate the Church’s racial approach from a sociological perspective. This thesis allows for future research of other religious organizations and how those institutions have helped advance or delay the quest for social freedom amongst African Americans. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author of this document acknowledges, first and foremost, his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for allowing this manuscript to become a success.

  • Origin and History of Seventh-Day Adventists, Vol. 1
    Origin and History of Seventh-day Adventists FRONTISPIECE PAINTING BY HARRY ANDERSON © 1949, BY REVIEW AND HERALD As the disciples watched their Master slowly disappear into heaven, they were solemnly reminded of His promise to come again, and of His commission to herald this good news to all the world. Origin and History of Seventh-day Adventists VOLUME ONE by Arthur Whitefield Spalding REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. COPYRIGHT © 1961 BY THE REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. OFFSET IN THE U.S.A. AUTHOR'S FOREWORD TO FIRST EDITION THIS history, frankly, is written for "believers." The reader is assumed to have not only an interest but a communion. A writer on the history of any cause or group should have suffi- cient objectivity to relate his subject to its environment with- out distortion; but if he is to give life to it, he must be a con- frere. The general public, standing afar off, may desire more detachment in its author; but if it gets this, it gets it at the expense of vision, warmth, and life. There can be, indeed, no absolute objectivity in an expository historian. The painter and interpreter of any great movement must be in sympathy with the spirit and aim of that movement; it must be his cause. What he loses in equipoise he gains in momentum, and bal- ance is more a matter of drive than of teetering. This history of Seventh-day Adventists is written by one who is an Adventist, who believes in the message and mission of Adventists, and who would have everyone to be an Advent- ist.

This concept lies at the very heart of the Christian message, but Christians often understand salvation in different ways.

  • Toward an Adventist Theological Agenda: Some 21St-Century1 Realities
    Toward an Adventist Theological Agenda: Some 21st-Century1 Realities Adventist theology is not tied to the 19th or 20th century; it can take full account of current realities—recognizing them for what they are, acknowledging their implications, and avoiding wishful thinking. “Age will not make error into truth,” our prophet said 116 years ago, “and truth can afford to be fair.”2 Furthermore, “God never asks us to believe, without giving sufficient evi- dence upon which to base our faith.”3 There is no reason for Adventist belief to be naïve, and good reason for it to be alert, thoughtful, and self-critical. This identifies six current, theologically relevant realities. It begins with the basic fact of theological change, proceeds to the nature of Biblical revelation and to scientific knowledge in general, and then on to natural history, human physicality, and the eschatological future. I. The Reality of Theological Change The historic Adventist idea of “present truth”4 affirms the need for theological develop- ment, and Adventist history confirms the actuality of that development.5 So a major and continu- ing task of Adventist theologians and other scholars who think about the meanings of things is to suggest ways of better understanding and expressing Adventist belief. For nearly 120 years we have known that “whenever the people of God are growing in grace, they will be constantly ob- taining a clearer understanding of His Word. This has been true in the history of the church in all ages, and thus it will continue to the end.”6 As each generation stands on the shoulders of it‟s theological parents, it sees things they could not have seen.

  • Study Guide for “Science & Religion”
    STUDY GUIDE: HAVE SCIENCE AND RELIGION ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR? THE DRAPER-WHITE THESIS By Dr. Joshua M. Moritz VIDEO SUMMARY: There is a popular conception that the historical relationship between science and religion has always been one of conflict or even all-out warfare. Historians of science call this the “conflict thesis.” In this video, historians of science Dr. Lawrence Principe and Dr. Edward Davis examine the historical roots and social context of the conflict thesis. Principe and Davis explain that the conflict thesis can be traced primarily to the popular works of two 19th century Americans: John William Draper and Andrew Dickson White. Principe and Davis argue that Draper and White’s use of the language of “conflict” and “warfare” falls far short of the historical reality. Nevertheless, the popularity of these two works and the global influence of these two works still inform current views of how science and religion intersect. CONTRIBUTORS Dr. Lawrence M. Principe is the Drew Professor of the Humanities at Johns Hopkins University in the Department of History of Science and Technology and the Department of Chemistry. He is author of The Scientific Revolution: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2011). Dr. Edward (Ted) Davis is Professor of the History of Science at Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, PA. He is co-editor (with Michael Hunter) of The Works of Robert Boyle (Taylor & Francis, 2000). DISCUSSION QUESTIONS In this film, historian of science Dr. Lawrence Principe and Dr. Ted Davis explain that Draper and White’s views were rooted in the social and political movements of the time.
