Club Adventist
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

This week end is about http://www.sharehim.org, Elder Folkenberg, one of the best leaders this Church ever had.

I agree fully regarding Folkenberg. When I saw him in St. Louis, I told him we missed him. He said "I'm still around." He is a man who cares more about reformation than political-correctness. I hope we get another one.

Hi Bevin. Gerry here. I am aware of the sentiments against him that gelled in 1999.

I greatly applaud Bob Folkenberg's public denouncing of political correctness at the 1998 meetings in Toledo. I was there.

Whatever mistakes Folkenberg made previously ... he has turned is life around and is doing good now.

For that he needs a lot of credit.

I believe he was vindicated in all but one, rather trivia mistake..

Working for the Church is like walking down the hall, and everyone has baseball bats, just waiting for a reason..... those people usually have done little in their own lives..

Perhaps that is stretching it a bit...

Yes, I believe he was vindicated and he did the right thing by stepping down rather than digging in his heels and defending himself publicly. IMO, he took the high road.

Elder Folkenberg was one of the best if not the best GC president we ever had. The thing I admire about him the most is the he refuses to be bitter over the events leading to his resignation and has continued to work hard for the Lord.

It takes a lot of spiritual maturity to understand what it means to serve. Any position we hold in the church is a position of servitude and we serve at the pleasure of the church.
