What is the Most Architecturally Beautiful Adventist Church?

Spectrum Staff | March 13, 2011

I spent part of my Saturday night trying to name the most beautiful Adventist church. That’s what happens when one parties with Richard Osborn, Ron Osborn, Kimberly Osborn-Kim, and Paul Kim after the sun sets.

We came up with a few architectually significant structures, but I think that the winner is still to be discovered.

Some parameters:

Anywhere in the world.

Includes interior and exterior.

Size doesn’t matter.

Yes, when one opens the doors one sees all the people, but hand churches don’t count.

Adventists don’t have to have been its first occupants.

Must currently be officially designated as an Adventist church.

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.
