Where Are We Headed? Adventism after San Antonio / Johnsson, William G / (PB/2017-2017/B+/USED)

*Condition Note: Book is very gently used with almost no cover wear and clean.*

William G. Johnsson launched Where Are We Headed? Adventism After San Antonio straight from the shoulder. “San Antonio was a tipping point in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The General Conference Session of 2015 exposed and widened fault lines that had been developing for a long time. In later years the Session will be seen as a moment comparable to the 1888 Minneapolis convocation, when two views of the church, two possibilities, met face to face.”

The Session was no distant theoretical event for Johnson, though he did not attend. In the context of a lifetime of denominational employment, what he observed from livestreaming and reports by attendees ‘affected me profoundly,’ he explains, pointing especially to the way the matter of the ordination of women was handled. ‘For a couple of weeks after the Session. I moped and grumped around the house and generally made life miserable for my sweet-natured spouse. Then it hit me: Instead of fussing, do what you do best—write about it!”

And thus we have this short, vivid treatise listing ten contrasting ways of seeing ourselves within Seventh-day Adventism and Johnson’s hope for defusing the conflicts that are intensifying over the differences.
