Alvin (a pen-name) was a faithful member and leader in the small SDA congregation that I attended. He was unique in one respect, from the other members of that congregation. He kept the Sabbath from 6 PM Friday to 6 PM Saturday. He did not observe the typical sundown to sundown that defines the Sabbath boundaries for most of our members. He never pushed his belief on anyone else. He simply lived his understanding of what God wanted of him. My point: Every denomination has members who do not fully comply with the official teachings of that denomination. If we are to interact with members of other denominations, we must not confuse the unique beliefs of a member with the official teachings of their denomination. In my opinion, this is often an issue with us as we relate to people from a Catholic background. The author of the article cited below has given us some excellent principles for building positive relationships with people from other religious backgrounds. https://adventistreview.org/magazine-article/on-the-path-to-fruitful-interfaith-interactions/
