Description
Summary:As this volume reminds us, the experiences of African-American Seventh-day Adventists are different from those of other American Seventh-day Adventists. They also differ from other African-American churchgoers who belong to the all-Black denominations that house more than 80 percent of African-American Christians.; The chapters that follow are, first, a testimony to the hardiness of the faith of those Black believers who are determined "that they without us should not be made perfect."; Second, they are an attempt to suggest a future agenda by review and analysis of past and present experiences.; Third, they are a witness to the goodness of God, whose promises to the obdient in such passages as Isaiah 58:13,14 and Malachi 3:6-12 have been abundantly fulfilled.; The board of Operation Reachback presents this study in the hope that it will nurture the faith and rekindle the fervor not only of Adventists Blacks, but of the entire body of Christ as we face the sober but exciting challenges of the twenty-first century. - Black SDA's and matters of History; Black SDA's and Matters of Relationships; Black SDA's and Matters of Lifestyle
