All topics will be open for discussion when Seventh-day Adventist world church president, Pastor Jan Paulsen, meets with Adventist students from more than 10 European countries April 26 in Darmstadt, Germany. “Let’s Talk…Europe,” to be broadcast live by satellite across Europe, will be the third in a series of unscripted, unedited conversations between young people and their church leader. It will be the first time the program is held outside the United States.
For Pastor Paulsen, the one-hour broadcast provides a unique way for him to hear directly from young people. “There must be a more intentional dialogue with young people, and a greater recognition of the contribution that they can and do make within the church,” he says. “I look forward to hearing more from young people—ideas, opinions, questions.”
The program, which will be re-broadcast globally, is aimed at a specific demographic—the majority of participants will be Adventist students who are attending secular universities and colleges.
The most recent broadcast, held in September 2004 featured students attending Andrews University, an Adventist institution in Berrien Springs, Michigan, while the first “Let’s Talk” telecast from Simi Valley, California, in the autumn of 2003, included teenage members of the church.
Let’s Talk…Europe will air on the Hope Channel. Local broadcast information can be found at www.letstalk.adventist.org or www.hopetv.org. The live broadcast can also be viewed at www.hopetv.org.
