Complementing Issue 2, articles in Volume 86, Issue 3 of The Journal of Adventist Education (JAE) examine the past, while exploring “those concepts upon which Adventist education was founded: faith and learning, and the integration of both.” Titles include:
Adventist Education Leadership: Conversations About the Past, Present, and Future, Part 2 by Bordes Henry Saturné
“With the theme Founded in Faith, Forward in Mission, Andrews University celebrated its 150th anniversary as the first chartered institution of higher education in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Out of this rich history, the School of Leadership continues the legacy of nurturing educational leaders with the Adventist imperative in their minds and hearts. Articles in Part 2 celebrate this tradition.”
Religious and Secular Influences on the Development of the Philosophy of Adventist Higher Education by Israel Ramos
“The historical context of the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s philosophy of higher education is closely tied to ideological shifts during the 19th century. However, current discussions on this topic generally fail to address the significant influence public higher education played in establishing a uniquely Adventist model. By re-examining the context surrounding the creation of Adventist higher education, we better understand the reasons for its existence.”
Global Expansion of Adventist Education: Philosophical Foundations, Challenges, and Future Directions by Oktavian Mantiri
“The story of Seventh-day Adventist education began with scattered, unofficial one-room schools. Since then, Adventist education has expanded along with the Church’s mission and work in evangelism, health, and publishing. This reflects the commitment to providing individuals with academic knowledge, values, and principles aligned with Adventism.”
Effective Financial Leadership for Seventh-day Adventist Schools: Key Principles and Strategies for Sustainability and Success by Pardon Mwansa
“Financial sustainability for private educational institutions is a challenge throughout the world. Seventh-day Adventist schools are not spared from these issues. This article explores the fundamental principles and strategies of effective financial leadership that enable Seventh-day Adventist schools and tertiary institutions to achieve financial sustainability and thrive.”
“Springs of Blessing” by Raquel Bouvet de Korniejczuk and Ismael Castillo Osuna
“Toward the end of the book Education, the work of Christian teachers and parents is described as ‘springs of blessing.’ These words evoke imagery of refreshing, nurturing environments that nourish and build up the hearts and minds of learners. We need more of these ‘springs of blessing’-type teachers. Why are there not enough of them?”
