Sabbath School for a New Generation

Among Seventh Day Adventists, Sabbath School is a time for discussion and learning. It is the belief of this site that Sabbath School should be an exciting venue for the discussion of new ideas, instead of rehashing old arguments. So welcome to a virtual Sabbath School, a Sabbath School for a new generation.

Adventism and Postmodernism

The Adventist church began and developed during the peak of modern thought. It is a thoroughly modern institution. So when I came across the website for the Center for Secular/Postmodern Mission, you can say I was skeptical about its effectiveness. How ready is our church to adjust to the postmodern reality around us? Although it will take time to see what results from this outreach effort, sometimes I wonder if it would be easier to just start from scratch. However James Coffin wrote a good defense for sticking with the denomination. Anyway, I have added their website to my useful resources list and I recommend that you check it out. So far most of their material has been gleaned from other sources, but I think they are off to a good start.
