Faith and Politics Highlights Adventist Concerns Over Walmart’s Sabbath Policy

Seventh-day Adventists are once again at the center of pressing legal and ethical questions. A recent lawsuit filed by the EEOC against Marriott Vacations Worldwide spotlights the challenges Adventist employees face when Sabbath observance conflicts with workplace demands. This tension takes center stage in the latest episode of Faith and Politics, where panelists explore Walmart’s new scheduling guidelines that may force workers to choose between their convictions and careers. The show also examines a zoning dispute in Florida, where a city order threatens a church-run food pantry. Both cases raise a common question: What happens when honoring your faith collides with the policies of powerful institutions?
