Adventist Church Embraces Diversity . In a conscious effort to show how much multicultural diversity means to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a new book released just ahead of the Church's World Session features exactly that theme. History and research demonstrate that effective leadership leads followers from the inside out.
Intelligent leaders know that follower outlooks and expectations matter.
The book is to be featured in the upcoming World Ministers Council, June 25-29, in Toronto, where 8,000 Adventist pastors will be meeting prior to the Church's World Session. The foreword is written by Pastor Jan Paulsen, president of the Adventist Church. Together we most surely are. There is a future only for the ones who are prepared to move forward into the open space-open society, open opportunities, and open friendships in Christ. Paulsen affirmed the importance to the Church of recognizing the value of every individual in every culture.
