The Adventist Sabbath Paradox - 1938 General Conference Research Committee.

Rate this Entry
The Seventh-day Adventist church has officially recognized the problem in 1938.

On November 7, 1938, the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists appointed a Research Committee to investigate 'discrepancies in calendation'.

The committee was comprised of SDA luminaries...

The Chair was Elder L. E. Froom, Secretary Dr. Lynn Harper Wood and committee members Dr. M. L. Andreasen, Professor M. E. Kern, Professor W. Homer Teesdale, Professor Albert W. Werline, Elder F. C. Gilbert and Miss Grace Amadon.

The report was delivered July, 9, 1939...
...present were all the General Conference members available, plus all the Union Presidents in the US, Bible teachers, Ministers and many others...
...the report started at 9:30 A.M. and the meeting ended about 10:00 P.M.

The issue was discussed and well understood...
...and although the implications were realized it was decided 'not to trouble the church with it'...
...so the paradox was allowed to continue unresolved.
