Richards and H. M. S. Richards, Jr., father and son, share a happy moment in front of the recently installed satellite dish at Voice of Prophecy headquarters. Of the 726 stations which currently carry the Voice of Prophecy broadcast, more than 100 belong to the Satellite Radio Network. Two hundred additional satellite markets are now available for the daily broadcast. 1985 GC Offering Follow the Openings New Evangelistic Program Announced by Charles Bradford Adventists have always been a venturesome people—daring, intrepid, resourceful. It’s in our blood, this urge to advance, to move forward. Think of Ellen White’s words and let them stir you: “If we would follow the Charles Bradford opening provi-dence of God, we should be quick to discern every opening, and make the most of every advantage within our reach.”—Evangelism, p. 62. Now comes one of the great challenges to our faith, a test of our mettle, the venturesome spirit that has characterized the Church Physicians Needed in Monument Valley, Singapore Two mission fields are desperately in need of physicians. Because it is within the Pacific Union, one is often overlooked. The other, in the second largest seaport in the world, sounds more glamorous. Spanning portions of four states —Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico—the home of 150,000 Navajo and 38,000 Hopi Native Americans is seldom considered a mission. Yet for more than 30 years Seventh-day Adventists have provided health care for the Navajo Nation in and around Monument Valley—much of it charity and/or at minimal cost. Needs Inspire Physicians Doctors for the 24-bed hospital work for less than some of their overseas counterparts, certainly for all these years. Everything is in place. We have the opportunity to build and operate a powerful radio station on the Island of Guam. It will cost $5 million. Church leaders around the world have decided to assign the 1985 General Conference Session offering to this huge project. Located on the west side of the island, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the station’s powerful signal will cover a territory inhabited by nearly one-half of the world’s population.

Dozens through the years have worked on a limited volunteer basis, spurred on by the obvious needs. Their purpose is not to change a culture—homes called hogans, made from clay and sticks, children and women shepherds lead^ ing their herds in search of sparse grass, meals composed of fried bread and lamb stew. Lives Teach Lessons These practitioners are there to make the quality of life painless, unmarred by chemical dependency, purposeful in Navajo simplicity. Value lessons are first taught by people’s lives, by lessons in loving. Learning those lessons well, Native Americans do ask about the God who makes health-care VOP Annual Offering Set for October 13 Now through the Voice of Prophecy you can reach more souls than ever before through satellite broadcasting and Signs of the Times follow-up. During the past year, the Satellite Radio Network has brought the Voice of Prophecy some of its most responsive audiences. Recently, 200 new markets have opened up to the daily broadcast, bringing the opportunity of tremendously enlarging the outreach of the Adventist Voice—at the dramatically low cost for air time of less than a dollar a minute. For each of the many new listeners responding to the broadcast, the Voice of Prophecy will provide six months of the missionary magazine, Signs of the Times. Names will be sent to local churches for immediate phone follow-up. “Signs provides a cost-effective way to nurture our listeners,” reports H. M. S. Richards, Jr., director and speaker of the Voice of Prophecy. “Because of the large circulation for Signs, we can purchase these magazines for much less than it would cost to produce our own materials.” Walter Blehm, president of the Pacific Union, declares, “I’m so glad to see the Voice of Prophecy join forces with Signs of the Times to strengthen our witness in the Pacific Union!” Local presidents, ERRATA Steve Aitchison, health educator serving in Nepal and featured in the last issue, is the son of Dr. and Mrs. J.

All are there at Monument Valley Adventist Hospital and Mission because they love people and want them to learn of the God of the Universe who loves His People of the Desert and High Winds. Just now there is urgent need for more physicians, especially OB/GYN and pediatric specialists.

Every week letters arrive at broadcast headquarters from grateful new believers like Henry in Arizona, who writes: “Discovering the Voice of Prophecy was like striking gold. Now my wife and I are baptized into the Adventist Church.” During the past decade, 20,538 precious souls like Henry have joined the Adventist family through the Voice of Prophecy H. M. S. Richards Honored on 90th Birthday Paul Harvey made every word count in a brief announcement on his 7 a.m. newscast for the ABC radio network on Tuesday, August 28: “A monumental milestone— radio evangelist H. M. S. Richards—on the air continuously for 54 years—celebrating birthday number 90 today.” He used less than 25 words, but they were heard by millions. As radio listeners heard Paul Harvey give a longer message about Elder Richards on his noon program, the Voice of Prophecy staff paid tribute to their “Chief” at a candelight buffet luncheon at headquarters in Newbury Park. Joining in the event were Robert Frame and Dale Bidwell, president and financial vice president, respectively, of the Adventist Media Center; William and Virginia Vagal of Faith For Today, and George and Nellie Vandeman of It Is Written. Because Elder Richards suffered a stroke six days previously, he was unable to attend, but a tape recording was made so he could listen to the program later. The stroke caused partial paralysis on the right side and some speech impairment. Within two or three days, however, the paralysis had left, and Elder Richards was talking with his family and friends, eating solid foods, and spending most of his days in a chair rather than in bed. He was not hospitalized at all.

Now, with Signs followup to serve the new interests generated by the broadcasts, more than ever before can come to Jesus and His truth. This year on October 13, Voice of Prophecy Day challenges the churches to reach millions of new listeners through tripling our number of satellite stations. “We believe that God will inspire our members to move this project forward,” says Elder Richards. “The 200 new satellite outlets will cost $636,000.

The document traces the highlights of Elder Richards’ lifetime career in evangelism and radio ministry, declaring the Voice of Prophecy founder to be “deserving of highest commendations and heartiest congratulations from the people of California.” Union Minority Groups Committee Hears Reports Warren S. Banfield, director of the Office of Human Relations at the General Conference, examined the meanings of authority and power in his devotional. “The word authority is one of the more repulsive words in the English language today,” Elder Banfield said. “Because it carries the weight of the establishment, authority is not a cherished word,” he said. “But authority is here to stay.” Pointing out the nuances of difference in the words, Elder Ban-field suggested that the office of authority has been given an official right which compels. A person’s power, on the other hand, is in his personal force which attracts, he believes. “When these two meet in the same person,” he noted, “anything can happen.” Saying that it is difficult to separate the speech from the speaker, Elder Banfield pointed to Jesus. “It was not what He said but what He was that made the difference. “Authority may be in a badge, but power is up to the individual,” he concluded in his appeal. Asian Ministries Reports from the various cultural coordinators revealed that Asian/South Pacific members have reached 60 percent of their 1,000 Days of Reaping goal, Blacks 46.5 percent, and Hispanics 70 percent.

Northern California has the least at 2.2 percent. Hispanic Growth Hispanic tithe for the first 26 weeks of the year was nearly $2.7 million, a gain of 11.67 percent, Manuel Vasquez pointed out. Over-all tithe gain within the Union was only 5.87 percent. Missions offerings reached nearly $178,000, a gain of 5.67 percent. Unionwide the gain was only 3.46 percent. [Editor’s Note: Since the Union coordinators do not always report the same kind of statistics, you may feel as if you’re comparing apples with oranges. So don’t compare! Rather simply rejoice in the growth statistics shared.] Retention rate of members stands at 1:4—one apostasy or missing for every four accessions. Division-wide that figure is 2:4. Hispanics now represent 13.04 percent of Pacific Union membership, and during the second quar ter they recorded 25.05 percent of the gains. In Southern California Hispanic baptisms accounted for half of conference growth.

Adventist Health Systems The annual report of Adventist Health System-West was made by President Frank Dupper and members of his staff: Alan Rice, Don Ammon, Bob Carman, Doug Rebok, and Lynn Detier. Naomi Parsons, their legal secretary, also attended. Such a report is presented annually to the two constituencies of the hospital corporation—the Executive Committees of both the Pacific and North Pacific unions. Heading the report was an educational film prepared to orient employees to the mission of Seventh-day Adventists, who they are, what they believe, and why they are in the business of running hospitals. Entitled “The Difference in Us Is You,” the film is available for showing also to Church groups. Write Adventist Health System-West, Marketing Division, 1545 N.

In a continuing program of cost containment, operating expenses were up only 4.8 percent. All hospitals continue their thrust toward participation in the Church’s mission. Church Structure Study Nearly five hours were spent discussing the report of the Phase II Committee on Church Structure. While not attempting to endorse the document at that time, the Executive Committee did send to the General Conference the entire book with notations of four or five major areas reserved for discussion and a number of editorial and semantic changes deemed necessary. Primary changes from the preliminary reports included in the May 28 RECORDER were Phase H’s rejection of tithe retention by the local church, a presidential system whereby all staff would be accountable to the president rather than the Executive Committee, and Youth as a separate ministry cluster at the local conference level. Moreover, Phase H’s recommendations include an expanded Mission Statement, specific composition of a 46-member Union Executive Committee, procedures for filling vacancies, a call for Coming in the Adventist Review Nineteen hundred and eighty-four is a year of anniversaries for Black Adventist work in North America. Seventy-five years ago the Regional Department was organized at the General Conference; 50 years ago Message magazine was first published. To mark this special year, the October 18 issue of the Adventist Review will contain several articles on Black Adventism—its dimensions, its past, and its progress. Report open executive committee meetings at both union and local conference levels, guidelines for visitors to those meetings, details on transition and implementation, a suggestion for official newsletters to include such items as agendas proposed, and the addition of a Board of Education on the Union model graph. In addition, Phase II asked that the General Conference in Annual Council later this month not take action on tithe policy until a full study of the theology of tithe is made. Further, it asked that the Union and its constituent conferences give immediate study for discovering non-tithe resources. Initial questions asked by the Union Executive Committee included the rationale of appropriateness for requiring at least 50 percent of executive committee members at both the Union and local conference levels—in view of the fact that the Union has no direct access to the churches. While there was support for a majority of lay persons on the local conference committee, some felt that more pastoral and local conference staff representation was appropriate at the Union level. Other studies will be made regarding the Audit and Performance Review Committee’s duties.

Among the suggestions were the following. Church Growth Committee (Shirley Maxwell, chairman) — Design and implement a survey regarding ongoing church growth programs and projects in the local congregations. Successful programs would be recommended for use by other churches. — Hold a lay congress to include workshops on subjects such as Michael Jackson presents a report during a meeting of the Conference Advisory. Mr. Jackson, president of the White Memorial Medical Center, chairs the Advisory’s subcommittee on finance and governance. -----------General-------------------- La Voz de la Esperanza Will Share in Offering A portion of the VOP offering received October 13 will support the work of La Voz de la Esperanza, the Church’s Spanish language radio outreach. Earlier this year, La Voz became a separate component of the Adventist Media Center, reflecting the importance the Church places on the role the program fills in the over-all world evangelism program. “Merardo Leon, a retired minister born in Peru, reports that each Sunday morning in his hometown a Catholic priest broadcasts La Voz de la Esperanza over loudspeakers installed in the belfry of his church,” says Milton Peverini, operating a church day-care center, using the media in soul winning, and improving family relationships. Finance and Governance Committee (Michael Jackson, chairman) — Retain a professionally trained conference personnel director who could, among other duties, lead out in a positively-oriented performance evaluation for all conference employees. — Recommended that all churches develop a written five-year church-growth plan and implement an annual budget. Intercultural Fellowship (Daniel Robles, chairman) director-speaker of La Voz. “The whole town gathers to hear the messages every week.” While searching for Biblical truth, a Los Angeles family reports being brought providentially to an opportunity to study a Bible course through La Voz de la Esperanza. Today, this family is active in the church, often using La Voz materials in their lay soulwinning efforts. “We pray that your gift to the radio ministries offering on October 13 will be especially generous this year,” says Elder Peverini. “We believe that investing in soul-winning radio is an opportunity for wise stewardship.” — Pair churches with sister churches of another culture to enhance intercultural understanding. — Arrange for a pastor and musical group from a church of one culture to exchange places with those from another culture on a designated Sabbath during the year. — Stage a multicultural pageant at the annual convocation to highlight the diversity of cultural heritages represented in our conference. — Develop a conference prayer calendar so that churches and schools can pray for one another by name on specified days. Spiritual Nurture (Dan Matthews, chairman) — Encourage churches to organize Home Bible Fellowships so that every member can participate in a nurturing small group. — Renew emphasis on the uniqueness of Adventism. This would involve a focus on the implications and applications of prophecy. — Pay attention to inspiring, creative worship as a time of celebration. The four committees of the Conference Advisory are each meeting at least four times in 1984. Suggestions for the committees are welcome. Feel free to contact the chairmen. UPDATE ... from the president The following pastors have now joined the conference staff or have accepted new church assignments within the conference: Adolphus Garnett: associate pastor at Berean; coming from Oakwood College.

Richards, Jr., director-speaker of the Voice of Prophecy radio broadcast, have become partners in the project to send the VOP edition of Signs to all new listeners requesting help from the broadcast. This special edition of Signs will feature a monthly back-cover article by Elder Richards. Your Support for Camp Cedar Falls Still Needed It’s not too late to help in the unique and effective form of evangelism that is carried out by Camp Cedar Falls. Last year Camp Cedar Falls served the needs of approximately 10,000 Southern California Conference constituents who attended retreats, seminars, and camps. More than 40 churches, schools, departments and other groups utilized the facilities of beautiful Camp Cedar Falls. Camp Cedar Falls indeed is a unique family and youth evangelistic outreach and needs generous consideration.

NV Thursday, October 4, 1984, 9:30 PM * Look for ad in TV Guide PACIFIC UNION RECORDER/OCTOBER 1,1984 3 Santa Ana Good Samaritan Church Dedicated in June Sabbath, June 20, 1984, marked the end of a week of celebration, the fulfillment of a dream, and the beginning of a new journey at the Good Samaritan Church in Santa Ana. The church, pastored by John R. Damon, celebrated the burning of their mortgage and the dedication of their church building to God, free of debt. That celebration was the end-result of much prayer, planning, and inspired leadership, to say nothing of the personal and financial commitment of members and friends. Good Samaritan, the dream, began its transition to reality when, in August of 1977, Elder E. D. Rudley, Sr., who had been pastoring the Philadelphia Church in San Francisco, was sent to the Shelton Street Church to help build or find a structure that would be representative of the work. As a builder of twelve churches, he saw potential in an old, run-down building that had seen better days as the Santa Ana Clinic. Like another famous religious leader, he said, “This is the place; stop right here.” The building of the church was truly a labor of love for the pastor and the members, who worked untiringly on the project six days a week until the congregation moved into it on May 31, 1980. Remodeled Sanctuary Preparation for the celebration was hectic. One week before the CORRECTION: Mr. and Mrs. John Schliefer were pictured with the story on Curtis Perkins’ ordination in the last issue.

Academy Fall Band Festival Begins October 17 Plans are being made for a fall band festival for the young people in junior and senior academy bands throughout Southeastern and Arizona’s Thunderbird Academy. Band directors are working with Office of Education personnel and Music Department personnel from Loma Linda University in planning this event, scheduled for October 17 through 20 on the La Sierra Campus of Loma Linda University. Dan Shultz, chairman of the fine arts department at Walla Walla festivities were to begin, all the pews and carpet were removed. The choir loft was relocated from one side of the sanctuary to the other. The sanctuary was painted, and new carpet was laid. The pews were replaced, a new roof was installed, and the parking lot was resurfaced. A baby grand piano was secured and twenty folding tables and one hundred chairs were purchased. As if that were not enough, the kitchen was put into working order, and most of the many classrooms and smaller offices were also painted and recarpeted. Former Pastors Present The week’s activities began with evangelist L. B. Baker, who held a major tent effort in the summer of 1975 during the pastorate of Linton Manier, as the speaker for the 11 o’clock service. The desire to include all former pastors in the celebration resulted in the participation of Gary Wimbish, currently pastoring the 16th Street Church in San Bernardino; Linton Manier, pastor of the Miramonte Church in Los Angeles; R. E. Berry, retired; and David Taylor, who pastors the University Church in Los Angeles. Another of our former pastors, Robert Taylor, provided special music for the worship service on June 30, and at the Service of Dedication that same day. (Former pastors David Yates and E. D.

Sabbath, June 30, was a day to be remembered. The church was filled to overflowing. The Sabbath School lesson was taught by Carlyle Skinner, assistant to the president for Black Ministries for the Southeastern California Conference. Thomas Mostert, Conference president, brought the morning worship message. Following the morning service, luncheon was served to approximately four hundred guests. Dedication Service The Pathfinders “Presented the Colors’’ to open the afternoon service of Dedication and Mortgage Burning. Major White, secretary of the Pacific Union Conference, was the keynote speaker. Platform guests included H. T. Saulter of the Association Board of the Southeastern Conference, and a representative of the Santa Ana City Manager’s office. A “Service of Praise” ended the celebration. Alexander Hamilton and The Voices of Inspiration presented a concert that evening. They lived up to their name—they were truly inspiring. By day’s end, those present had received a full measure of God’s blessings. They had been challenged to dedicate their lives anew to Him and to His service. To God be the glory! Paradise Valley Hospital Opens Cancer Care Center A community-based, patient-oriented Cancer Care Center focused on the unique needs, concerns and interests of patients with cancer has opened at Paradise Valley Hospital. The 19-bed center, opened in affiliation with Care Systems Research which acts as program manager, will use both primary center therapies and support therapies. Primary cancer therapies are designed to destroy or remove the cancer tissue, while support therapies are designed to improve the general health and well-being of the patient. “In this program,” explains Medical Director H. D. Palmer, M.D., “the patient is the focus of care and a team of medical specialists work together to develop the most appropriate patient treatment plan.” The program includes the organized and integrated use of support therapies including counseling, therapeutic nutrition and exercise therapy. The support therapies promote patients’ well-being. Counseling of the patient and family reduces stress and anxiety and provides psychological and emotional support. Nutritional therapy is designed for each patient to more quickly achieve health and Santa Ana First Christian Church was the site of the first Orange County Hispanic Youth Congress this summer.

Trips have been made to San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Sea World, Huntington Gardens and Catalina. This provides opportunity for the seniors to visit areas to which they would not go by themselves and has been an opportunity for social contacts. and chemotherapy, only a few cancer centers in the United States use an organized program of care to address the overall well-being of the patient as well as the treatment of cancer. “The program is also unique,” says Palmer, “in that the center organizes medical resources in the San Diego area and focuses them at the hospital for the benefit of the patient.” For more information about the Cancer Care Center, call Paradise Valley Hospital at (619) 267-9500, extension 300. 4 PACIFIC UNION RECORDER /OCTOBER 1,1984 Long-time Friends Have Surprise Reunion at Camp Meeting Sitting beneath the tall pine trees, reading, relaxing or listening to inspired messages in the pavilion—it was good to be there. The refreshing rairi, the cool breezes, the health lectures, sessions in the Prayer Chapel, the special music, workshops, meeting new and old friends and the delicious food combined to give us a spiritual uplift. The hustle and bustle of cities seemed so far away as we enjoyed camp meeting, 1984, at beautiful Camp Yavapines in Prescott, Arizona. While, for most of us, it was “good” to be there, for Myrtle Evans, a member of Phoenix Paradise Valley Church, “it was heavenly!” One of the guest speakers, Arthur L. Lickey, Director, Religious Liberty and Public Affairs, North Pacific Child Rearing, Soul-winning Seminars Scheduled for Northern This Month Child Training at Lodi Judy Burton, manager of the Home and Health Library Services of Adams, Nebraska, will present, with demonstrations, “Training Children as Missionaries.” Scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m. on October 6, the program will be at the English Oaks church, 1260 West Century Boulevard, in Lodi. The curriculum that Mrs. Burton will be sharing focuses on the stimulating and training of children to care about helping others. Materials are designed to be used both by parents in family worship and by Sabbath School workers in their weekly programs. This training material is being offered to complement, in the chil- Northern People in Transition Worker changes: R. W. Brett John Klim John Luppens Ernest West Donald Winger S.

Anderson Health Vans Operate in Oakland During Summer A special health van provided many Spanish migrant workers with blood-pressure checks, as well as Bible studies, this summer. Several baptisms are forthcoming as a result of this program, spearheaded by Remberto Vela, a student from Montemorelos College. In the Oakland area, a health van was available for five days each week. Its purpose: screening individuals for hypertension. Leading out in this program were three students: William Davis, Venezuela Adventist College; Rocio Mojica, Weimar College; and William Felder III, Oakwood Union Conference, and his lovely wife, Geraldine Rose Lickey, grew up in Myrtle’s home church in Kansas City, Missouri. Surprise Reunion “Geri” was one of the young girls in the first Sabbath School class that Myrtle ever taught. There were hugs, tears of joy and a happy flow of memories. Myrtle had not seen either of them for approximately forty years. Grandma Evans, as Myrtle is affectionately called now, related how she became an Adventist. She and her husband were on their honeymoon in a small town in Missouri when she heard about the evangelistic meetings being held there. She attended, joined and returned to Kansas City to become an active member of the Central Church. dren’s divisions, the emphasis of the new Enrichment Lessons for the adults. Soul-winning Secrets at Weekend Seminar “Success Secrets for Soul Winners” is the theme for a weekend seminar at Leoni Meadows slated for October 12-14. This training program is designed for church elders and personal ministries officers, as well as others, who feel the challenge to experience soul winning. Guest instructor will be Lewis A. Shipo-wick, director of Personal Ministries and Sabbath School for the North Pacific Union Conference. Reservation forms will be available at all Northern California Conference churches. From: Sacramento Central Evangelist Suriname, S.A. Covelo Sacramento Southgate Far Eastern Division College. Mary Brown, of the Oakland Market Street Church, working in conjunction with the Alameda East Oakland Medical Center, offered further assistance to those whose screening revealed particular problems. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Rhoades began this year doing double duty in providing health screening at the Pacific Union College and Redwood Camp Meetings, along with the visitation of many of the cities in the northeast area. Mrs. Rhoades reports that more than 4,000 have already been screened for hypertension in 1984. For Myrtle, becoming an active member meant teaching a young girls’ Sabbath School class, being JMV leader, giving Bible studies and serving wherever she was needed. Myrtle recalled how precious each little girl was to her and how much she studied the Sabbath School lessons, hoping to make them interesting. She always wanted to tell them something that would show God’s great love for each of them. Both ladies expressed their delight and surprise many times at seeing the other at camp meeting, after so many years. “Heaven, I’m sure,” said Myrtle, “will be just like this. We will be seeing friends again whom we haven’t seen for many years.” Geraldine Rose Lickey (left) and Myrtle Evans had a happy reunion at the 1984 Arizona Camp Meeting. Mrs. Lickey was a student in the first Sabbath School Mrs. Evans taught after becoming an Advent* ist.

Thunderbird Adventist Academy Committed to Principles of Christian Education Thunderbird Adventist Academy is a great school in a grand state with wonderful opportunities. And it’s not too late to enroll! The academy is committed to the Seventh-day Adventist philosophy of Christian education: the development of the head, the heart and the hand, thus training for both this life and the life to come. Here the students are challenged in academics, and are given the opportunity to develop socially, making friends with other young people in a Christian environment. A real plus is having caring Christian classroom teachers and supervisory staff. The teachers are certified professionals, dedicated to sharing knowledge in their subject areas. But beyond this, and most importantly, they share in meaningful ways a knowledge of Christ. At TAA, you can select from a great variety of subjects, from computer science to flight, along with the core curriculum, thus Hawaii Station Airs VOP Daily to South Pacific Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and islands of the South Pacific now can hear the English-language Voice of Prophecy daily broadcast over 50,000-watt station KAIM in Honolulu. The VOP recently bought two 15-minute time periods, Monday through Friday, on KAIM—at 3:30 p.m. and at 1:00 a.m. The broadcast at 1:00 a.m. takes advantage of the skywave, a natural phenomenon that allows a Conference Office Changes Announced Some staff reassignments have been made by the Conference Executive Committee, following the return of Melvin Heinrich to the Mainland and the appointment of new hospital personnel. Robert Frost has been asked to assume the duties of conference secretary in addition to his treasury responsibilities. Departmental leadership has been distributed amongst four receiving training of the whole person. Spacious lawns, trees and shrubs on the campus emphasize the importance of esthetics in education. The buildings are relatively new and well maintained—a place one can be rightly proud of. This year a Driver Education course will be taught on campus by a qualified classroom and behind-the-wheel teacher. A new shop class, Home and Auto Care, has also been added. Thunderbird Academy offers excellent work opportunities to assist in defraying expenses, and to help the student accept responsibilities.

In addition, radio signals generally travel very well over water, so most of the South Pacific can hear KAIM at night.

President Shigenobu Arakaki will head Sabbath School ministries; Richard Among, personal ministries; and Joyce Villegas, Child Evangelism. Terry White, Castle Medical Center’s new president, will also serve as Conference health director. Search is being made for an experienced but retired conference treasurer who would assist Mr. Frost. PACIFIC UNION RECORDER I OCTOBER 1,1984 5 CAMP WAWONA 1984—the year of the passion play. Led by Pacific Union College Senior Ray Georgeson, from Kerman, the staff produced a multi-scene dramatization of the life of Christ, presenting the play on six Sabbath afternoons. The 1,100 youth who attended Wawona’s 32 general and diversified camps watched with scores of parents and friends who came significant distances to share in the experience. Rick Nelson, from O’Neals, portrayed the Master with such a level of reverent intensity that both he and audience were well-nigh spent at the end of the 110-minute play. (Nelson, also a student at PUC, is spending this school year as a student missionary on the island of Marjuro in Micronesia.) In the actual-performance scenes pictured here, the Christ heals a blind girl (Kimberly Key, a junior at Loma Linda Academy) and, escorted by disciples (Terry Roth and Pat Nakamura), enters Jerusalem in triumph. IN THE FRESNO AREA, McDonald’s sign of the golden arches means more than just fast food. It means that the restaurant chain’s local division is a strong supporter of the LISTEN magazine alcohol, drug, and tobacco program available to public schools.

Missionary Physicians Needed in Two Areas ■ (Continued from page 1) And support people too. The need is for those who have learned to entertain themselves— like behind a telephoto lens rather than in front of a television. And the need is for those who will stay awhile, who have an interest in providing a continuity to healthcare. Corporations Impressed Vendors like General Electric and Hewlett Packard have been captivated by all that has been done there by the current dedicated staff—and those who have helped to build what there is today. They are upgrading equipment in the laboratories, nursery, and patient rooms. Other benefactors are noting housing needs—for families and singles. If you would like to make a gift of yourself to put that new and used equipment to full benefit, write Administrator Jack Williams, Monument Valley Adventist Hospital, Box 4, Monument Valley, Utah 84536. Singapore Hospital Desperate A “foreign mission” need is at Youngberg Memorial Hospital in the Republic of Singapore. Already understaffed, the hospital now is without an internist because their doctor has come to the States for further training. Survival of this 68-bed facility might well depend upon at least one physician for a year. Longevity might well be assured by one or two who would like to make it a career service. Housing is available. Other Pacific Union medical workers are there—Richard Taggart, DDS; Clarence Ing and Shinji Kubo, MDs.

Seventh-day Adventists are on several stations in the South Pacific. Last year we received 23,000 letters in response to our broadcast on a rather small station limited to only a few hours of broadcasting per week. Since the days of the Pitcairn, Adventists have rallied to these big challenges. I am sure that multiplied thousands of Seventhday Adventists will respond to this new opening with generous gifts. By establishing our own radio station on Guam, we will touch an audience numbered in the millions. All that is needed is the total support of the entire church, specifically, your contribution and mine. Dates for the special offering to be received are March 9 and May 25, 1985. The time to begin laying aside funds for this major project is now, and we should do it regularly and systematically. While the people of the South Pacific will benefit immensely from this outreach ministry, the North American Church will be twice blessed. Our sense of mission will be heightened and we shall be strengthened for the finishing of the task. Let’s take advantage of the opportunity. Let’s “follow the opening.” All Recorder correspondence should be sent to Pacific Union Recorder P.O. Box 5005 Westlake Village, CA 91359 6 PACIFIC UNION RECORDER I OCTOBER 1,1984 Allen, Henry R.—b.

PACIFIC UNION RECORDER / OCTOBER 1,1984 7 Union Executive Committee Report pacific union college PUC Awarded $750,000 Challenge Grant A challenge grant of $750,000 has been awarded to Pacific Union College by the Archie Tonge Educational Fund of California. The grant, announced recently by Dr. Malcolm Maxwell, president of the 1,400-student college, will help fund construction of a $4.8 million Phase II building of the three-phase Science Complex. Work is moving steadily forward on the 56,000-square-foot Phase II building, which will house chemistry, physics and computer science departments. First occupancy of the building is expected in September, 1985. Officials of the Tonge Fund said the $750,000 grant is to be used by the college in a challenge context. “The Fund feels that the philosophy of challenge grants—using gifts to inspire other gifts—is extremely important,’’ said a Fund spokesman. “Our grant encourages alumni and friends of Pacific Union College to be as enthusiastic about the college as we are, so that its worthy goal of quality Christian higher education may be achieved.” According to President Maxwell, $250,000 of the grant has I PUC News Notes PACIFIC UNION COLLEGE’S ANGWIN CAMPUS is 75 years old this September. A special church service, to be held on October 6 at 11:30 a.m. in the PUC Sanctuary, will recreate the college dedication service of September 29, 1909. Nine participants, in costume, will portray Ellen White, W. C. White, C. W. Irwin and others, reading speeches that were given by each of those individuals at the original dedication service. Early Adventist hymns from the 1909 dedication service will also be sung and banners designed for the October 6 service will have PUC’s longstanding motto, “Where nature and revelation unite in education.” Also used in the service will be a pulpit used in the early days of PUC’s history. Immediately following the historical reenactment, a rededication service for the 1984-1985 school year, involving PUC administration, faculty, staff and students, will take place. The re-enactment of the 1909 dedication service is the first of several services to be held throughout the year recognizing PUC’s 75 years in Angwin. ***** THE PAULIN CENTER FOR THE CREATIVE ARTS first began offering courses to students from preschool through high-school age on September 13 at Pacific Union College. Adult classes are also offered by the program. The new preparatory division, named after pioneer Pacific Union College music teacher and chairman Noah Paulin, is designed to offer training, experience and performance instruction. The Center’s goal, says Lois Case, director of the program, is to give the highest quality musical training, while providing the rewards and pleasures of music-making. In addition to musicianship courses and individual classes, the Center also offers several ensembles for student participation. Further information is available from Lois Case, Paulin Center for the Creative Arts, Pacific Union College, Angwin, CA 94508. The Center may be reached by phone at (707) 965-6201. Minority Groups Committee Hears Departmental Reports ■ (Continued from page 2) Sciences, it is important that Seventh-day Adventists understand Arabic thinking. In the first place, religion is primary—as can be seen in the conflicts of that region over whose god is the true god. Among influential Bedouin characteristics are idealization of the mind (Arabs enjoy parties where poetry is recited and/or conversation is conducted in rhyme and rhythm), high standards of decency (the covering of all parts of the body), a taste for ceremony, family sacredness, importance of face already been made available to the college. Additional thirds will become available depending on the college’s ability to use the grant to inspire other gifts, and continuing construction progress on the new science building. Dr. Maxwell said the Tonge Fund’s grant completes the requirements for a $150,000 challenge grant for the new science building from a couple in southern California. “We are more than pleased that these two significant grants, dependent as they are on one another from the challenge standpoint, can be brought together at this time to provide major funding for this key, new educational building,” said Dr. Maxwell. “We see these gifts as but the first of many others, large and small, from our college family, friends and business associates in the Napa Valley, alumni scattered around the world, corporations, foundations and other philanthro-pically-minded persons which will help speed the construction of this much-needed facility on to completion.” saving, health and hospitality. Keeping these values in mind, Christians can have talking points with Muslims—or any Arabs, nearly 750,000 of whom live in Southern California. Avenues to the Arab soul appear to be through health, the media and literature, the Committee decided. Dr. Haddad clarified the usages of Islam, Moslem and Muslim. Islam is the religion, while Moslem and Muslim are interchangeable for the believer in that religion. Human Relations Elder Banfield noted that the ■ (Continued from page 2) Thoughts of merger for the Association and Conference Treasury are still subject to legal counsel. Specifics regarding personnel departments require more investigation. Final Phase II recommendations were molded somewhat by correspondence and hearing discussions, although only 1,253 attended the forums and only 795 questionnaires were returned for tabulation. Too late for inclusion in results of the printed survey were ideas from 300 persons who attended an extra hearing during the Central California Camp Meeting and the 507 Hispanics who attended special sessions in Spanish. There were also 56 questionnaire responses received too late for tabulation. However, many of the later opinions reflected the thinking of those who responded earlier. Strong opposition was recorded for the presidential system of governance: 54 percent Hispanics were against compared with 42.3 percent opposing in the tabulated study. Generally speaking, Hispanics were more conservative than those in the English-speaking groups. They do not request as much change, nor are they eager to see the local church left to do all its strategic planning and implementation of programs—52.1 percent being opposed. Hispanics were not as insistent for lay representation on the Executive Committees; 33.3 percent opposed compared with 11.3 percent opposition in the earlier studies. They opposed the presidential system by 64 percent compared with 42 percent by the others. Nearly half of the Hispanics (48 percent) were against a single departmental cluster at the Union level, whereas 19.7 percent opposed this recommendation overall. What might be drawn from this comparison is that Hispanic members, who to a large extent are comparatively new Seventh-day Adventists, still feel the need for centralized planning, promotion and programming. This thought was shared in the area meetings by a number of Blacks as well as those in small churches and the smaller conferences. Columbia and Pacific unions are the only ones to meet regularly to consider minority and/or ethnic challenges. Other unions seem to assemble such a group only when there is a specific problem. While at the General Conference the office is called Human Relations, Elder Banfield commended the Pacific Union for meeting under any name to consider the opportunities for improving communications and understanding among an increasingly pluralistic constituency—plural by culture, background, language, lifestyle, economy, race and class. Interested persons may borrow a copy of the entire document submitted by the Phase II Committee, which is being studied by the Union Executive Committee, from their local conferences. Those desiring their own copy may write The Executive Secretary, Pacific Union Conference, Box 5005, Westlake Village, CA 91359—a $6 price determined at press time. The Phase II report includes committee rationale for recommendations made. Final actions will be taken by the larger body in Executive Session on November 28 and 29. Expressions of Gratitude Present when the Union Executive Committee accepted the Phase II Report were Committee Chairman David J. Bieber; Henry Bruner, Phoenix, Arizona; Frank Graves, Martinez, California; and Richard Hannon, Salt Lake City, Utah. Nine other of the 40 Phase II study members are also on the Executive Committee. Merely saying “thanks” to these ad hoc persons, especially those not denominationally employed, is hardly enough. Many took vacation time—to the disappointment and inconvenience of their families. Though travel and housing expenses were reimbursed, there were hours spent in making up for their own work missed, money spent in making phone calls amongst each other and with those in the field who expressed an interest and sent questions, physical and emotional exhaustion felt from long hours wrestling with difficult issues. “You were all an inspiration to Union leadership who rejoiced in your commitment to the effectual and efficient workings of the Church which binds our hearts together,” Elder Blehm said. Shorter Reports Other reports included an update on housing for the 1985 General Conference in New Orleans. E. Hilbert Nembhard, Altadena pastor, was elected upon the recommendation of the Southern California Conference to replace Oswald Gordon on both the Minority Groups and Executive committees. The man chosen to replace Everett Tetz as manager of Home Health Education Service has not yet responded to the invitation. Elder Tetz left in mid-September to become treasurer of the British Columbia Conference—returning to the location of his early ministry. Ordination of Jeffrey Elmore, assocate at Lancaster, was approved; Tony Anobalie was recommended as the Task Force worker with Dan Savino for Youth; and a Nevada-Utah pastor was enabled to experiment part-time in literature evangelism. A committee of classroom and health educators is to be named for developing materials on drugdependency education, a project to be paid for by $10,000 taken from an earlier trust set up for health-education purposes. Finally, ASI Mission Church Builders projects for Arroyo Grande, Monterey Peninsula, and the Soquel Campground—all in Central California—were approved. Revolving Fund loans were okayed for Yuma, Arizona; Fresno, Lamont, and Woodlake Spanish and the Monterey Peninsula churches in Central California; Arden Hills, Santa Ana Good Samaritan, and Victorville churches in Southeastern; and El Segundo, Mid City, Oxnard, and Rosemead Korean churches in Southern. Elder Ed Dirkson, a counselor in the VOP Bible School, phones students to answer special questions, and encourage them in their decision for Jesus and His truth. Ed also alerts pastors to the developing interest of students for immediate local follow-up.
