Adventist Denomination Joined Case About Religious Signs

From ANN, Jan. 17, 2015:   Religious liberty issues were argued in a case this week before the United States Supreme Court and the Seventh-day Adventist denomination was among many organizations to have taken sides in the dispute. The case began in 2007 when the pastor of a small, nondenominational congregation in Arizona objected to the regulations the town placed on his signs inviting people to worship.

Yes, the SDA Church as filed an amicus curiae brief in this case.  That simply means that they filed a document  which stated an argument or position.   That was probably the appropriate thing to do.  The only cost to the denomination was the time spent in legal research, preparing the document and filing it.  As to how helpful it will be to the Court remains to be seen.  For more information on such see:  http://www.techlawjournal.com/glossary/legal/amicus.htm

 I am gladdened to hear our church is using its corporate resources to support a church other than ourselves.

Great outreach.
