Adventist Church president to host final 'Let's Talk' youth dialogue

Silver Spring, Maryland, United States | ANN Staff

Paulsen's live, unscripted broadcast closes with 19 segments; pastoral dialogue continues with European edition

Seventh-day Adventist world church president, Pastor Jan Paulsen, will host two live, unscripted broadcasts later this month, continuing his series of conversations with Adventist youth and ministers.


But this 19th segment of the “Let’s Talk” youth dialogues will be his last. After similar discussions over the course of five years, the church leader has met young Adventists from 30 countries in live forums in Africa, South America, Australia, Europe, Asia and North America.


“These conversations have meant a great deal to me,” Paulsen recalled of past segments in which he has traditionally encouraged personal responsibility and church ownership. “The young people I’ve met; the issues we’ve talked about; the overwhelming sense I have, after every broadcast lead me to believe that the young people and young professionals of our church are strongly committed and ready to serve. I hear them saying: ‘I love this church, too.’”


The final segment, Let’s Talk Romania, will broadcast live from Bucharest, Romania on May 24 on the church’s Hope Channel and its Web site hopetv.org at 5 p.m. local time (10 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time).


While the Let’s Talk series is ending, the conversation between Adventist young people and church leaders will continue. The Let’s Talk Web site letstalk.adventist.org is still open, taking questions and comments from Seventh-day Adventist young people, ages 15 to 25.


Paulsen is also scheduled to host a live, unscripted dialogue with pastors in Europe in the second installment of “Pastors: In Conversation.” The broadcast is set for May 28 in London at 7 p.m. local time (2 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time).
