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.

  • Local MP Worships at Tottenham
    Local MP worships at Tottenham n 23 June, Tottenham Church held a special recognition service in which they paid tribute to members of the Ochurch and the community. Among the dignitaries present were representatives from the local fire and police services and a number of community leaders. David Lammy, local MP, paid tribute to the church and charged everyone to continue the good work being done. He commented on the warmth of the church and recognised its value as a good place for young people to learn right from wrong. He mentioned five things necessary to build any successful family or church: education, employment, parenting, aspiration and community. He presented awards and posed for photos with those who received them. In his sermon, Pastor Perry encouraged the church to say ‘thank you’ to all the unseen heroes that are a part of our lives, but also pointed out that, although we may not always be thanked here on Earth, there is a reward for us in Heaven. All of this, combined with parading Pathfinders and good music, made the day a great success. COMMUNICATION TEAM 2 editorial 3 Fancy being published? ‘Murray, Murray, Murray . .’.

  • Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and the Religion of Biologic Living [Review] / Wilson, Brian C
    244 SEMINARY STUDIES 53 (SPRING 2015) on words not known interrupts the reading experience more substantially than moving one’s eyes quickly to the apparatus and back. Third, annotating one’s Hebrew Bible with pen or pencil allows for a more efficient ownership of the Biblical Hebrew language and the Hebrew Bible. Fourth, for Hebrew professors and language instructors the BHS Reader’s Edition allows for new ways of testing the skills of Hebrew students. Final examinations can be set up in which no dictionary or grammar is allowed. In case of too much information being given in the apparatus, information can be removed easily in the process of text-copying. In conclusion, the BHS Reader’s Edition is a must for everybody who studied Hebrew for a purpose other than spoiling costly time and mental energies. The challenges that come with this edition can be overcome after some praxis. The BHS Reader’s Edition is able to break the curse that hangs over every Hebrew course into a blessing: Learning Hebrew for the purpose of actually reading Hebrew and studying the Hebrew Bible in a more substantial way.

    CORNFLAKES, GOD, AND CIRCUMCISION: JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG AND TRANSATLANTIC HEALTH REFORM by AUSTIN ELI LOIGNON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May, 2019 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Steven G. Reinhardt, Supervising Professor Kathryne E. Beebe Robert B. Fairbanks Copyright © by Austin Eli Loignon 2019 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Cornflakes, God, and Circumcision: John Harvey Kellogg and Transatlantic Health Reform Austin Eli Loignon, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2019 Supervising Professor: Steven G. Reinhardt The health reform movements of the nineteenth and early twentieth century impacted American and European societies in profound ways. These reforms, while usually represented in a national context, existed within a transatlantic framework that facilitated a multitude of exchanges and transfers. John Harvey Kellogg—surgeon, health reformer, and inventor of cornflakes— developed a transatlantic network of health reformers, medical practitioners, and scientists to improve his own reforms and establish new ones. Through intercultural transfer Kellogg borrowed, modified, and implemented European health reform practices at his Battle Creek Sanitarium in the United States. These transfers facilitated developments in reform movements such as vegetarianism, light therapy, sex, and eugenics. While health reform movements were a product of the modern world in which science and rationality were given preference, Kellogg infused his religious, Seventh-day Adventist beliefs into the reforms he practiced. In some cases health reform movements were previously semi-religious in nature and Kellogg merely accentuated an already present narrative of religious obligation for reform. These beliefs in salvific health reform centered around Kellogg’s desire to perfect the human body physically and spiritually in an attempt to make it fit for translation into heaven.

The man’s name, spoken or written, almost a half-century after his death, is associated with entrepreneurship, creativity, vision, and humanitarianism. Those are big words. However appropriate they may be, 5 they probably would have been shunned by Mr. Kellogg—the developer of a worldwide cereal industry and an international foundation that is dedicated to helping people to solve societal problems. He shied from any hint of praise for himself. With a candor that matched his devotion to action and outcomes, he was known to turn aside compliments, flattery, or acclaim.

    UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 October 6, 2016 Nanette Wauchop, (5P2R) Real Estate Director 230 S. Dearborn Street 3310 Chicago IL 60604-1505 SUBJECT: BATTLE CREEK SANITARIUM-1, 2, AND 3 – REQUEST FOR INITIAL SITE VISIT AND TO PERFORM RADIOLOGICAL SURVEYS Dear Current Owner: I am writing to inform you that our records indicate that your property at 50, N. Washington Avenue, 100 N. Washington Avenue, and 135 N. Washington Avenue, Battle Creek, Michigan, are sites where radium-226 was previously used in a Sanitarium, wherein radium was used to treat patients. If you are not the current owner of the property, please let us know whom we should contact. Radium-226 is a radioactive isotope that, in certain quantities, may pose a risk to public health and safety. Radium-226 is regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). We do not know whether there is a current radiological issue at your property, and it is important that you contact us at your earliest convenience. We are requesting access to your property to perform radiological surveys and to collect samples to determine whether there is any residual contamination resulting from this historical radium use on your property. This testing will not damage your property and these tests will be conducted at no cost to you. If residual contamination at your property has already been remediated, please provide us with records describing cleanup activities and the status of the remediation. To successfully complete our tests, we need to schedule an initial visit. The initial site visit will serve two purposes: 1) to determine whether there is any readily detectable radium contamination; and 2) to allow us to start planning a scoping survey, if needed.
