Sabbath and the Adventist Soul
The Spectrum Blog has a provocative post on how the Sabbath saved the Adventists from selling their soul to a political party. In light of the fact that white Adventists have voted similarly to evangelicalicals the question can be asked, “Why have they not joined the religious right totally?”
Could it be that our minority status among Christians makes us leary of the kinds of politics that the religious right uses? Alex over at the Spectrum blog seems to think so and I am inclined to agree. Perhaps someone should do more study of the political ramifications of being a Sabbath-keeping church.

Loma Linda Adventists might not belong to the same party but we all overwhelmingly support our Republican congressman to the house of representatives Jerry Lewis.
I proudly voted for him.
Adventists were quite involved with President Harding… the review and herald all but politicked for him in its pages.
Yes,
This is an interesting part of our history…The Review has not always stayed out of politics. I hope to post more on that in the future.
God Bless….
