G'(7th)day Mates: Australian Adventists Read Spectrum More

Spectrum Staff | August 16, 2011

Lately it seems like we’ve been seeing more visits from Australia. In fact, three of the top 12 most active cities visiting Spectrum come from Australia. Thanks those of you residing in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. We also appreciate those of you in Adelaide (64th) and Perth (84th).

London, what happened? You dropped from around the top 3 to thirty-fourth. The Trinis from the Port of Spain passed you at 33rd. Great to see Manila at 47th, Cape Town at 55th and Nairobi in 61th place—all more frequent than Boise, Fresno and Collegedale. The rise of Riverside, California in the rankings probably reflects the recent deluge of news regarding La Sierra University where it is located. (The numbers on the right reflect the visits in the last month.)

Also, we’re looking further into the financial connections and liabilities between the Johnson Property Group and Adventist institutions in Australia. If you have tips and news links, please send them over.

Remembering Not Only Great Disappointment, But Also Great Failure

I had a dream last night, a dream of General Conference Sessions past and future. I stood in the center of a stadium, packed with people, all captivated by the music and stagecraft in front of them. I looked around and felt a sadness that kept growing inside of me until it was overwhelming.

Religion Can Be Fun

Some time ago I was sitting in what quite possibly was the most boring church service I have ever been in. (No, I won’t tell you where I was.) There couldn’t have been more than 50 people in the sanctuary, and I’m being generous. We sang no less than 5 hymns. All hymns were sung in a dry, slow manner. The sermon seemed uninspired, barely prepared, and was presented with no sense of conviction. It felt like we were in church for three hours. We were in church for about 70 minutes.
