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.

  • Five Steps to Health in America
    A Health Policy Agenda for the Next President & Congress of the United States A Proposal From The Adventist Health Policy Association To Promote Sound Health Policy In 2016 And Beyond Five Steps to Health in America A Health Policy Agenda For The Next President & Congress Of The United States A Proposal from the Adventist Health Policy Association To Promote Sound Health Policy In 2016 and Beyond October 2015 www.adventisthealthpolicy.org PREFACE The Seventh-day Adventist commitment to fostering human health began more than 150 years ago at a time when much of what passed for medical care was in fact detrimental. Patent medicines, often containing toxic or addictive substances, were widely offered as cures for nearly all ailments. Many medical interventions at the time – such as bloodletting, heroin for the common cold, and radium for arthritis and diabetes – caused far more harm than good. By contrast, Adventists began to teach the value of a healthy lifestyle and a preference for natural remedies including fresh air, regular exercise and pure water. Within a few years, Adventists expanded their health ministry by establishing innovative health care institutions. The first of these opened in 1866 in Battle Creek, Michigan, where people not only received treatment for diseases but were also taught how to prevent them. Since these early beginnings, Adventists have continued to build hundreds of hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and health-sciences schools around the world. The Adventist work toward human health is founded on the belief that every person is a beloved child of the Creator, and deserving of compassionate, whole-person care with thoughtful attention to all dimensions of a person’s life.

  • Iron Will, Steel Resolve President’S Message Mission Marathon: and the Winner Is…
    Iron will, steel resolve president’s message Mission Marathon: And the Winner Is… Now we’ve raised the bar. It took a lot of huffing and puffing, but it was worth the effort. Kettering College of Medical Arts got its start when, forty-plus years ago, Eugene and Virginia Kettering gave Seventh-day Adventists the chance to build and run a hospital and a college. While living in the Chicago area, they’d loved Hinsdale, the Adventist hospital in that city’s western suburbs. The Dayton region would benefit most, they thought, if their gift of land and money came with the proviso that Adventists take on the leadership. Ever since, Kettering College has put faith at the forefront. The college’s purpose was always to produce great health care professionals. But they were to be professionals with a difference: minds and hearts shaped by Christian vision and Christian compassion. Kettering's very identity is Once the college began offering four-year and post-graduate degrees, about educating students we took the opportunity to reconsider our basic mission. We had to say how our degree offerings had broadened; we needed to say how to make a “ service fresh thought was renewing our sense of what it means to put faith life calling.” at the forefront. Two summers ago, a series of conversations led us to agree that Kettering’s very identity is about educating students “to make service a life calling.” Over the past several months, we’ve discussed how Adventism’s characteristic emphasis on the “whole person” might play out in the mission statement.
