[Gregory Matthews]

William G. Johnsson, a former editor of the Review has proposed a wish list of seven (7) things that he would like to see in the SDA Chruch.  See:

Oh Wow!!! Fantastic!!!

I'd like to mention the tapestry of Adventism. This is what makes us so special. I worry about some of our subgroups wanting to make their thread THE TRUE Seventh-day Adventist and force the rest of us to comply. Some are in those who want to give up the Investigative Judgment, some who want to force us to all be the folk who like subgroups as Focrum7, and scare people away from other ideas, or even the Adventist Theological Society with the list of ideas you need to sign.

I'm reminded of what Graham Maxwell said about the 27 and the book on the 27. That the 27 were purposely written in vague open ended style to accommodate the various approaches to Adventism, but some church leaders wanted the book to be written to give the way they hoped the 27 would be understood. He was enthusiastic about the 27 but not so enthusiastic about the book.

I like the suggestions Elder Johnson offered for expanding our tapestry!
