Ellen White & Adventism
phkrause reacted to Gregory Matthews for a topic
The answers to your questions are mixed. Matthew Korpman: His work is not widely known and is just beginning to attract the attention of people. Yes , there has been some minimal knowledge. But he has expanded our knowledge beyond that and it is just beginning to become known beyond scholarly circles. EGWs use of sources: It has been well known for many years that she did make some use of sources. But, little attention was paid to this. Early people, whom I will not mention, were often dismissed. Thinking of one, I accepted his evidence and dismissed some of his conclusions as I did not consider the conclusions to be of scholarly value. Of another person, his work was generally of value, but for other reasons it was dismissed by some. The real turnabout in Adventist thinking came when individual scholars began to be able to publish their work outside of the standard Adventist publishing houses. Oak and Acorn was one such Adventist source of publishing. Avondale Press was another. When the individual authors began to be able to publish by using places like Amazon, a flood of new material became available to the Adventist membership in general. George Knight and Ron Graybill are two authors who have contributed much to making information available to the general Adventist membership. Others have made information available in areas related to EGW and also in other areas of spiritual importance. Adventism is changing as it is being challenged.1 point -

HAPPY VETERANS DAY - FROM VETFRIENDS! To all, Thank you for your service and we wish you a Happy Veterans Day filled with pride, honor, remembrance & tradition. Throughout history, in times of both peace and war, yourself and millions of other selfless U.S. Military personnel have proudly served our nation. Everyone here at VetFriends.com would like to take a moment to reflect and express our deepest respect and gratitude to the courage, bravery, and patriotism of all of our U.S. Veterans, along with all of our active and reserve Military. So many things are possible today because of you. We salute you. History of Veterans Day: 1921 - An unknown World War I American soldier was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Similar ceremonies occurred earlier in England and France, where an unknown soldier was buried in each nation's highest place of honor (in England, Westminster Abbey; in France, the Arc de Triomphe). These memorial services all took place on November 11, the anniversary of the end of World War I at 11:00 a.m., November 11, 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month), which became known as Armistice Day. 1926 - Congress invited all Americans to observe Armistice Day, and then officially made it a national holiday in 1938. On June 1, 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day to honor all U.S. Veterans. 1968 - New legislation changed the national commemoration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. However, it soon became apparent that November 11 was a date of historic significance to many Americans so in 1978 Congress returned the observance to its traditional date. From everyone at VetFriends.com, have a wonderful Veterans Day! VetFriends carries the spirit, tradition, honor and thanks of Veterans Day all year long!
