An Ode to Aussie Racial Sorrow
The New York Times notes:
A song about racial reconciliation with the Aboriginal minority has become the fourth-biggest-selling recording in Australia, even though it is available only as a download from the Web.
The Antioch story of how we got our name marked a milestone in the growth of Christianity (Acts 11:19). Our spiritual forefathers believed they had been given the task to "tell the message only to the Jews" (v. 19), to people who shared the same sacred text, same history, same diet, and same culture. To do otherwise would threaten their group identity.

Shattering Preconceived Notions and Stereotypes
Coming from the west coast of the United States, the Adventism that I have grown up with has been of a more liberal brand, in perceptions of the Bible and the world in general. For various reasons, my idea of a very conservative Adventist with a strict literalistic view of the Bible has come to be nearly synonymous with the terms judgmental and closed-minded; this has been a stereotype that I have struggled with for much of the last few years.
