by Kevin Butler

News from Eron Henry, BWA’s Associate Director of Communications

Baptist World Alliance General Secretary Neville Callam met with the international leadership of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church on March 11.

The meeting at the Adventist world headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, took place to affirm both the BWA and the Seventh-Day Adventist commitment to shared values and goals on religious freedom.
Callam stated that “the BWA is pleased with the partnership that has been experienced in the quest for religious freedom.”

The BWA leader also expressed delight at “collaboration in the past,” and said he looks forward “to these opportunities continuing with greater intentionality.”

John Graz, director of public affairs and religious liberty for the Adventist church, said that Baptists and Seventh-Day Adventists “share a Christ-centric faith and many of the same values.” He said both Baptists and Adventists “share a passion for religious freedom, and in many countries around the world we cooperate closely to promote and defend this freedom.”

Callam met with all the leaders of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, including world church President Jan Paulsen.

It was interesting to read about this meeting, however, I would be more happy to hear details about this meeting.
And its my hope and prayer that even the non-sabbath obsever baptist will soon realise the importance of keeping the Lord`s Day , 7th Day, holy.

My Regards
