Much is being said these days about organization on many levels in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Questions are being raised over the necessity of some departments, of the relationship between unions and divisions, of how officers should be selected. Some aspects of the discussion are reminiscent of the days when the church was initially organized over strong opposition in certain quarters.

Pattern for Progress, after examining the organizational structure of the early Christian church, compares it with our current structure, and pinpoints areas of concern and opportunities for improvement.
