Campbell and Edward Martin Allen as we celebrate the release of their new work, "A Global History of Seventh-day Adventists." While previous studies have largely focused on the denomination's 19th-century North American origins, Campbell and Allen offer a broad chronological and geographic scope. They rigorously trace the transmission of Adventist theology and culture across the continents of Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia, analyzing the church’s contributions to global education, social reform and medicine. Don’t miss this chance to hear from the authors and pick up your discounted copy of this definitive new textbook!

The conference aims to explore the transformative role of worship in fulfilling God’s mission through nurturing discipleship. Public worship is not merely an event but a way of life that forms believers, deepens faith and propels the church into mission that changes the world. This conference invites scholars, pastors and practitioners to examine how corporate worship serves as both an expression of and a catalyst for spiritual growth and missional engagement.</div> <div background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" ibm="" line-height:="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: " text-align:="">  </div> <div background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" ibm="" line-height:="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: " text-align:=""> The Andrews University Music & Worship Conference seeks to provide a forum for scholarly and professional dialogue, the advancement of knowledge, and the promotion of best practices in Christian worship and music.</div> <div background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" ibm="" line-height:="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: " text-align:="">  </div> <div background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" ibm="" line-height:="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: " text-align:=""> To register, please visit the conference <a href="https://secure.touchnet.net/C20366_ustores/web/store_main.jsp?STOREID=45&SINGLESTORE=true">website</a>.</div> Thu, 29 Jan 2026 09:00:27 +0000 TBRI Caregiver Training http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68620 Date: Feb. 6, 13 & 27, 2026 (Zoom attendance will be available on Feb. 6 and Feb. 27 for those 60+ miles away.)
