@william. That's exactly my point. All conferences have the necessary resources based on my own experience to teach Christ in a thoughtful and immersive way. I think at times we abuse such resources and try to compete against other churches in way way to best each other to prove who has what and who is doing what when in all actuality, those same churches have to at least help each other and or assist in progressing closer to Christ. The article suggest a #whysowhite hashtag in a way to bring into focus what "some" consider major setbacks withing the Adventist Church. To me, that's actually taking focus away from the churches objective. I live in Florida and I can tell the difference between the Southeastern conference and the Florida conference. It even gets to a point where people call those conferences the black and white conference respectively. However, God isn't concerned about makeup and or structure model of said conferences. Are we saving/winning souls for Christ?
