New Tool For Presenting Adventist Values to Political and Community Leaders

The public affairs and religious liberty department at the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s world headquarters recently launched a special DVD project designed to introduce the church to diplomats, government leaders, and heads of state. “Doors to Freedom,” the title of the project, focuses on the church’s work and involvement in the areas of religious freedom, human rights and humanitarian aid.

“This presentation is intended to explain some basic aspects of the Adventist Church in terms that all can understand,” says Jonathan Gallagher, United Nations liaison director for the world church and executive producer of the project. “Doors to Freedom is a brief introduction to what Adventists do around the world.”

New Resource Kit for Pastors

Seventh-day Adventist pastors in North America are receiving a CD-ROM and DVD resource kit from Adventist Communication Network. The “digital vitality” disc includes pictures, videos, graphics to use in worship, sermon illustrations, mission reports, and a presentation for training church hosts.

“These are resources so pastors can help their church grow naturally,” says Dave Gemmell, associate director for resource development for ACN.
