When historians look back and study 2020 what lessons will they learn? Will the communal experience of the COVID-19 pandemic combined with the horror of the George Floyd killing be seen as drawing us closer together – or pushing us apart? Will the world, or will we as individuals be more caring as a result?
In this special edition of TED Words of Hope we talk with two experienced communicators, looking for lessons on the way ahead. Ken Burton Ken Burton is perhaps best known as conductor of…

Commentary: The Cooper Conundrum and American Adventism
As the world’s attention was captured by the asphyxiation death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota, another notable event transpired earlier that same day in New York City. Christian Cooper — a writer, editor, and avid birder — encountered Amy Cooper walking her unleashed dog in a section of Central Park where regulations specified that dogs must be leashed at all times.
Unprovoked by nothing more than Mr. Cooper’s request that she leash her dog, she called the…

What is baptism?
Right before Jesus left the earth He said these words, “Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:” Matthew 28:19. But what is baptism? When someone chooses to be baptised, is it a sprinkling or a pouring or is it a complete immersing in water? Are those details significant? The New Life masterclass, presented by Cami, will answer these questions and reveal from the Bible how baptism clearly points to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If you desire to know more about baptism and what it publicly declares tune-in to awr.org/bible. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRvYpNZkXtE

Different generations come together in acts of love for others
In contexts of social, digital, and technological changes, relating across generations can sometimes be a challenge. However, when the theme is solidarity, thoughts and attitudes seem to converge to the biblical commandment that advises us to love God and neighbors as yourself.
It was with their minds on this principle that the youth of the Adventist Church of Lagoinha, in Belo Horizonte, joined with volunteers from the Adventist Solidarity Action (ASA) to provide for the hungry people on the…

During pandemic, Taiwan’s Seventh-day Adventists respond with community education, prayer, outreach
Not even a global pandemic can stop the outreach efforts of the Seventh-day Adventist Church on Taiwan. Restrictions on public worship and evangelism have sent members online to witness, as well as to share the Church’s health message.
Due to the pandemic, the Taiwan Conference’s 2020 mission plans with local churches were canceled. However, the Health Ministries department encouraged local churches to conduct a vegetarian health week and made great efforts to promote the participation of…
