The Under-told Western Hemisphere Black History Boat Tour : mackenzian

Who Works With Us. The Under-told Western Hemisphere Black History Boat Tour. July 6, 2015. As far as I can tell the only appropriate place to start this story is 12,000 years ago with the ancestors of the indigenous peoples of Turtle Island. In most ways, the 15th Century was discontinuous with the era I was fortunate enough to be born in. But it was continuous in two ways:. Christians claimed the right to subdue the earth. And use all its resources, including “human resources.”. I make it a point to re...

Who Works With Us. The Heart of Wednesday’s General Conference Vote on Ordination. July 7, 2015. The Seventh-day Adventist denomination’s 60th General Conference meeting now in San Antonio, TX, includes a vote on whether any of the 13 worldwide divisions of the church may provide for women’s ordination to ministry. I wrote about this conversation earlier this year. And the vote will occur on Wednesday, July 8. Laura Ochs Wibberding told Adventist Today readers. Whereas the Seventh-day Adventist Church se...

Why am I still Adventist?
http://spectrummagazine.org/blog/2007/12/05/why_am_i_still_adventist
Why am I still Adventist? Why am I still Adventist? Well, Seventh-day Adventism and I, like a couple of old friends, go way back. Seventh-day Adventism has its quirks and its share of historical not-so-good moments, but so do I. On the occasions when Adventism asks me to remove my earrings, for instance, I comply. And when it asks me to turn down the volume I typically comply. Friendship requires compromise. Am I willing to trade the denomination of my birth for another? Why am I still Adventist? Graceli...

Ted Wilson’s Message: A Pastor's Analysis
http://spectrummagazine.org/blog/2010/07/04/ted_wilson’s_message_pastors_analysis
Ted Wilson’s Message: A Pastor's Analysis. Therefore, my frustration is not with what the newly elected president said or how far he went. His words were brilliant. I am frustrated because he didn’t go far enough! Let me be specific. He mentioned ‘Ellen White’ 7 times, ‘church’ 42 times, ‘people’ 36 times, ‘Bible’ 25 times and ‘forward’ 23 times. I will go farther in this analysis and indicate that the love of God was only mentioned once, in the conclusion. One of the most controversial aspects of the se...

Whither Wilson?

ATLANTA: Ted N. C. Wilson’s election today brings to an end the 11-year tenure of Jan Paulsen. Wilson becomes the 17th individual to hold Adventism’s highest office and the first person whose father, Neal C. Wilson, was also president of the church. The church’s conservative elements were delighted by the announcement today. Down at the Amazing Facts booth Don Mackintosh described Ted Wilson as someone who wants a clear message for the church. It’s not a question of whether you believe this or that parti...

Our Great Leap Backward
http://spectrummagazine.org/blog/2010/07/03/our_great_leap_backward
Our Great Leap Backward. The great irony is that the Bible suffered a defeat. So did the legacy of Ellen White. So did the Holy Spirit, or as Paul says (Romans 8), the. Sabbath morning 60,000 or more worshippers at the Georgia Dome heard a reflection on Israel’s escape from Pharaoh. In the story, the people panic at the sight of the Egyptian army bearing down on them, and God, pointing to the looming sea, says to Moses: ‘Tell the children of Israel to go forward.’. Attempting to de-legitimize all metapho...
