WHAT IS IT? A training event for all who want to understand the role of the United States in the world today, in Biblical prophecy, and the vital intersection of church and state. Every church is urged to sponsor or recruit someone to represent them. WHY SHOULD I ATTEND? We have assembled the best panel of presenters who will integrate the historical, biblical, prophetic, and legal dimensions for an in-depth understanding of religious liberty in America today, and its relevance to the gospel that will powerfully inspire and enlighten. This is a MUST ATTEND event! Understand that while this weekend will be very educational, it is a revival weekend. Expect the Holy Spirit to challenge you to change your life, to gain a new depth of insight into the mission and message of Seventh-day Adventists and to obtain new tools that you can use for ministry in your local church and community. Since this weekend is interactive, there will be ample opportunity for discussion and reflection on the material presented. The keynote speakers are: Nicholas Miller, attorney, former Executive Director of the Council on Religious Freedom. Nick is one of the foremost advocates and activists on religious liberty issues in America today. He has written numerous legal briefs before the United States Supreme Court, and lower Federal and State Courts defending religious freedom, and is a sought-after, national speaker. Greg Hamilton, Director of Public Affairs & Religious Liberty, North Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Greg is a revival speaker who integrates his academic study of church-state relations with gospel and Biblical prophecy in a most inspiring way. Greg also serves as Executive Director of the Northwest Religious Liberty Association, an effective advocacy group on religious liberty issues. Alan Reinach, attorney, Director of Public Affairs & Religious Liberty, Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, President of the Seventh-day Adventist Church State Council, and writer of this E.lert. My main presentation will introduce the biblical and prophetic principles that govern church-state relations, and relate these principles to the Three Angels’ Message so as to better understand our mission and message.

Paul Beach Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Dear Administrator person, Are you going? Sincerely, Mrs. Gray Quote
Stan Posted October 20, 2004 Author Posted October 20, 2004 Mrs Gray I am unable to attend, and it is my understanding that they will not be taping this. I knew Jim Pederson when he Pastored the Eagle Rock Church and i was at the ABC close by. It would be nice to read the manuscript of either of these speakers, I have read some of Michael's articles in our Church papers.
