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.

Disturbing

So I went to the baptism of a friend of a friend today. She has had no support from her church and the pastor refused to give her the baptismal classes. He did end up baptizing her, but you could tell that he wasn't excited about it. Now I don't have the pastor's side of the story, but I find the whole episode a little upsetting. If somebody wants to commit their lives to God, it should be a time of rejoicing and celebration. Even with all of that, she is now a baptized member of the Seventh Day Adventist church. So we can celebrate that!
