About

As the Body of Christ, we are collectively committed to continuing the work Jesus started while walking this earth — spreading the good news of the Kingdom by serving, healing and teaching (1 Corinthians 12:27; Mark 10:45; Mark 3:10; Acts 1:3).

Adventist Activism is a collection of our stories and thoughts regarding this work of spiritually motivated social action. The views expressed by each contributor do not necessarily reflect those of the other writers or the Seventh-day Adventist church. We each take responsibility for our own opinions.

Topics range from local to international, from personal transformation to social transformation, from theology to action. Using the “give a man a fish” metaphor, we discuss (a) effectively giving fish, (b) teaching people how to fish, (c) advocating for everyone to have access to the pond, (d) getting people upstream to stop polluting the water, and (e) understanding God’s passion for everyone to have enough fish to eat (maybe tofu would have been a more appropriate “better world” analogy). If you are interested in discussing more general topics of spirituality or Adventist theology, we encourage you to continue searching for other sites (see links on the right).

POLITICAL DISCLAIMER: While these topics are highly politically charged, this blog does not support one party or one country over another (even if some of the individual contributors do). Our allegiance is ultimately with the Kingdom of God, not a human political or religious organization, and we are each striving to live that out in our local situation. As Shane Claiborne says, “It’s not about going left or right. It’s about going deeper.”

RELIGIOUS DISCLAIMER: While we are all connected to the Seventh-day Adventist movement, this blog is in no way sanctioned by the SDA church. We write independently of the organized body. To learn more about the Seventh-day Adventist worldview, please visit these webpages — Beliefs and Statements.
