While in the early years evangelicals viewed social justice with suspicion, considering it subordinate to evangelism, since the second half of the 20th century, social justice has gained momentum among evangelical Christians who have become favorable to a more holistic approach to mission. William Carey had already set the tone in the 19th century as his work in India included missiological responses to social justice concerns. Other more recent and similarly mission-focused social advocacy work followed, such as the Temperance Movement in early Adventism, the ongoing Enditnow campaign to end violence against women and girls, and the work of International Justice Mission, just to cite a few. However, a mission-focused social justice advocacy must be based on clear principles and guidelines. For example, one of PARL’s methods or principles is this: “Just because we can say something, doesn’t mean we have something to say” (PARL 2017). “As we determine on an ongoing basis the issues we will focus on, we keep in mind our relevant expertise, the level of unanimity of our members on a given issue, the level of resources already invested on a given issue, and whether speaking publicly in a specific instance is the best means to accomplish our goals (PARL 2017).\"","PeriodicalId":402825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adventist Mission Studies","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130108861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many are concerned that Africa continues to be a suffering continent that has failed to attain financial selfreliance both in political circles and in the Seventh-day Adventist Church itself. It is impossible for any one paper to deal with the issues of this continent and be fair to all regions of Africa. Africa, being the second-largest and secondmost-populous continent (after Asia), cannot be dealt with as if it is one country with one culture. Because of this limitation, I have focused on broad principles rather than on details of any country or region. I believe that principles transcend national borders. This article attempts to do the following: first, to present facts that show that there is a problem in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Africa when it comes to self-reliance. Hopefully these facts will motivate us to do something about the situation. Second, to define the state of selfreliance. Third, to identify causes and factors that have contributed to a spirit of dependency in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Africa. Fourth, to present a biblical overview of self-reliance and how it is attained. Fifth, to present reasons why the church should expand its stewardship program or promotion beyond that of appealing to members to be faithful. Sixth, to review literature on the impact of aid to Africa and what that has done to Africa. Seventh, to present seven practical suggestions to consider for implementation as a means to start changing the picture of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Africa from a dependent church to a fully self-reliant church.

Trim","doi":"10.32597/jams/vol15/iss2/5/","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32597/jams/vol15/iss2/5/","url":null,"abstract":"founded at the first General Conference Session in May 1863, many things have changed in the Church. One of the few that has remained the same is the office of Secretary, which is as old as the General Conference (GC) itself, but of course the role of the GC Secretary has changed. One of the changes is that he (and thus far the Secretary has always been a “he”) gradually acquired a staff—and its role, too, has changed over the years. This is the second of two papers on the history of the GC Secretariat and of what Arthur G. Daniells, 111 years ago, called the Adventist “mission enterprise.”1 The two papers are connected by the role of Secretariat. As I just observed, however, that role has not been an unchanging one in Adventist history. The Secretariat’s role underwent organizational evolution. Part of its story is that, after a long period of being primarily focused on foreign mission, its main concerns came instead to be policy, governance, and administration. Mission was still in the portfolio, but it did not have the same priority, even while successive Secretaries and their Associates insisted that it did. In the first paper, I considered the origins and development of what today we call the ISE program. In this paper, I discuss the development of GC Secretariat. In this paper, I sketch the stages of Secretariat’s history. I show that in Secretariat’s first four decades it was chiefly a conduit for communication and collection of information, before then becoming what might be termed “mission control”: the world church’s center for recruiting, training, and deploying of missionaries worldwide. The promotion of mission was an important and largely forgotten part of this General Conference Secretariat and the Mission Enterprise of the Seventh-day Adventist Church D. J. B.

Missions Institute and the Holy Spirit 宣教会与圣灵

{"title":"Missions Institute and the Holy Spirit","authors":"L. Merklin","doi":"10.32597/jams/vol7/iss1/5/","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32597/jams/vol7/iss1/5/","url":null,"abstract":"Any missionary that reaches the field without attending the IWM Mis sion Institute is at a definite disadvantage. The missionary suffers, the family suffers, and the work of the church suffers. I believe that and the great majority of those who experienced the field first and returned to an Institute later have expressed that. However, experience has taught most of us that the Institute helps us recognize a problem in our cross-cultural lives when we see it, but only the Holy Spirit can guide us to a right solution. This is why Acts 21 is part of the Institute curriculum. There we find a real life situation where accepted expectations, human logic, and common sense were not enough. I believe God had Paul’s experience recorded in Acts 21 to remind people that easy answers are not always right answers. Some guidance from above is needed! That is why the Holy Spirit was given to the church. The first verses of Acts 21 tell of Paul’s journey back to Jerusalem with some of his associates as they bring the offerings given by the churches in Asia (Rom 15:25-28). Here the Holy Spirit is active in informing the church that Paul will face hardship in Jerusalem (Acts 21:4, 10-11). It is interesting that the church is led by the Holy Spirit to try to persuade Paul not to continue his journey to the city (21:4); but Paul says he is “drawn there irresistibly by the Holy Spirit (20:22). Is this a reminder that people must listen to the Sprit’s guidance for them personally, rather than attempt to decide what the Spirit is saying to someone else? Paul and his entourage arrives in Jerusalem in verse 17; and “all the brothers and sisters in Jerusalem welcomed [them] cordially” (NLT). As the story continues, one can read that there were some questions about Paul’s mission work; but I believe their joy in seeing him was still real. They even praised God when “Paul gave a detailed account of the things God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry” (19, 20).","PeriodicalId":402825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adventist Mission Studies","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123245133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
