A special issue of the Adventist Review depicting the "tapestry of Adventism" was released last month during a special reception at the Adventist Church world headquarters.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church’s unity in diversity is featured in a special issue of the Adventist Review, the church’s 150-year-old journal. “A Tapestry of Adventism” was released last month during a reception at the Adventist Church world headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. The 64-page issue includes 100 full-color photographs of Adventists from around the world and portray a broad variety of cultures, languages, and expressions of faith.
“For me, culture is not an obstacle; unity is expressed through culture,” says William Johnsson, Adventist Review editor for the past 19 years. “I hope that Adventists who see the issue will feel a sense of pride.” He says this issue is something that can easily be given to neighbors, friends, and community leaders.
Project coordinator Kimberly Luste-Maran said Adventist Review staff looked at thousands of photos—some photographers turned in more than 500 pictures. She hopes the special edition will help spark curiosity about Adventists.
“I wanted to show people a glimpse of the Seventh-day Adventist Church around the world,” says Maran. “Even through our uniquely different cultures, we are still united.”
