The Seventh Day Adventist Church is a Christian group with a strong belief based on the Scriptures and the idea that Jesus Christ will return to Earth. This is a very large organisation with members all over the world. They are the largest church in the states of Utah and Idaho.
I was interested to see that whilst their views are very traditional, they seem prepared to accept that it helps to not be judgmental and to offer help and support wherever possible. They offer guidelines on various things – one being abortion. Whilst it is clear that they disagree with the principle, they accept that there are circumstances when it is necessary, such as in the event of rape, congenital defects and risk to health. They don’t however condone homosexuality or same sex marriage.
They clearly value family life and help within the community and I can see that this would be very comforting to many people. Whilst their beliefs may seem old fashioned, they have considered many aspects of modern life and offer their members advice on how to provide support to others. There is also a dating website offering Seventh Day Adventist singles the opportunity to meet other like-minded people.
