COMMENTARY: REMEMBERING REFORMATION DAY

By Nathaniel Gamble

October 31 marks a very special occasion and it’s not Halloween. I’m talking about Reformation Day, the anniversary of Martin Luther posting his 95 Theses against Indulgences in 1517 and starting (unbeknownst to him at the time) the Protestant Reformation. Reformation Day has been observed intermittently since the late sixteenth century, gaining in popularity and international celebration as the centuries progressed.  The 500th anniversary of Reformation Day was observed throughout the world in 2017, and was the occasion for several Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, Anabaptist, and a few Roman Catholic commemorations.

Seventh-day Adventists, however, have never really paid much attention to Reformation Day. For various reasons, some of which include jobs, school, family, and church responsibilities, Adventists have mostly been unaware of the importance or significance of Reformation Day. But I believe Reformation Day is an excellent time to demonstrate a winsome witness as a Seventh-day Adventist Christian and invest more deeply in Seventh-day Adventist religious liberty concerns.

OUTDOOR SCHOOL FOR WESTERN SLOPE

By Rachel Williams and Elizabeth Boden – Grand Junction … Hiking, rock climbing, rappelling, CPR, and water ecology were included in the 2022 outdoor school activities for 5th – 9th grade students from Adventist schools in Grand Junction, Delta, and Cortez. The school was held at New Beginnings Ranch, September 25-28. Attending this year were 29 kids and 12 adult volunteers.

One of the first activities was hiking to the top of Lone Cone Mountain. Part of the group stayed at the base of the mountain to study the flora of the forest, while a smaller group climbed to the summit. The Lord was with them during their climb, blessing them with sure footing as rain on the decent made the rocks slick and the ground muddy. All arrived at camp safely, though tired.  It was truly a great experience and a blessing to be able to enjoy God’s creation.

Diane Larkins and Darlene Westbrook – Sheridan, Wyoming … The Sheridan Seventh-day Adventist Church invited “Creation Truth” from Noble, Oklahoma to present a series on “Creation vs. Evolution,” September 29-October 1. (With a traveling museum loaded with life-sized dinosaurs and fossils for the community to view, the presentations covering the six-day literal Creation week, the flood in Noah’s day, and the amazing handiwork of God through astronomy were well illustrated.

A large supply of books were available for children and adults on the topics presented.

Some 30 guests attended. Among them was a customer of Better Life Natural Foods, a store operated by the Sheridan church. At the outset, she said she could only come the first night, but she continued to come, attending for all three nights, and bringing three friends with her. Five other customers from the store also attended.
