SDB Polity Summer Institute almost here

by Gordon P. Lawton

Above are some of the books to be read for this class.
At least seven students will be participating in this year's Summer Institute which will be held June 14-25, at the SDB Center in Janesville, WI. At least five are serving SDB Churches as Pastors and Assistant Pastors, and two are seminary students.
Polity is a word that denotes the way an organization operates. For Seventh Day Baptists it is a congregational form of church government. We will look at other ways that churches are organized and discuss the pro's and con's of each.
The Biblical basis for polity will be discussed as well as the organization of the General Conference and other Associations.
Please pray for the students who have been reading and preparing for this class in advance.
