Comment on A big reason why so many people are leaving the church by GMF.
I would like to see an unbiased study of the reasons people leave the church.
While I can’t prove it, I believe modern media with its hype contributes to a loss. What Pastor can, or even should, attempt to emulate the fevered hype of the media.
In today’s world where many SDA children are latchkey kids with many mothers working there is much more opportunity to fall into pernicious habits and fall away from the church.Incidentally, not all these mothers need to work but the feminist agenda of “fulfillment” has disturbed the family Christian ethos.
Finally, those who have been faithful members for many years find themselves discarded as they enter old age. Younger members no longer make time to visit and encourage such members. Thus the commitment to Biblical values are diminished.

Dr. Ariel Roth’s Creation Lectures for Teachers

La Sierra University Looking for New Biology Professor
Some SDA colleges and Universities when advertising specify SDA and belief in short time Creation. Too bad La Sierra would even consider a person not an SDA. [edit]
A New Endowment Program for Adventist Education
I would find it easier to donate to such an endowment if there were assurance that evolution will not be taught as a fact and that Bible classes will follow the true SDA beliefs. Will there be such an assurance?
