This is a very stimulating read, Stephen.  Many thanks!

You have really given us a taste of the power to see ourselves as others see us, as well as the courage to consider how God may be helping others to see Seventh-day Adventistism.

You have taken us surely beyond the edge of the denomination and into the far larger span of Seventh-day Adventism should Seventh-day Adventism include all of the people who have been touched by people already touch by Seventh-day Adventism.

If we are looking at Acts 15, we see a biblical model for the denomination catching up with Seventh-day Adventism in the wild, if you will.  For now it seems a little too scary for the current denominational leadership. New leadership will inevitably replace the current generation.  

Members like You, Stephen, will be making the difference.  May your tribe increase!
