In recent years, there has been renewed focus on the justice issues of race and racism, the subject of worldwide protests in 2020 and ongoing social, political, and cultural debate. This volume collects chapters from 20 Adventist academics, pastors, and writers from diverse cultural backgrounds in response to the question of what Adventist Christian faith can offer to the vital and urgent work of antiracism. These authors draw on the Bible—including the Hebrew prophets and Adventist understanding of New Testament prophecy, Jesus, and the gospel—as well as Adventist history, and sound the call to respond to these contemporary issues faithfully, thoughtfully, practically, pastorally, and politically.\nContributors: Janice De-Whyte, Olive Hemmings, John Skrzypaszek, Claudia Allen, Kayle de Waal, Angela Li, Yi-Shen Ma, Andy Lampkin, Matthew Korpman, Michael Campbell, Kendra Haloviak Valentine, Mark Carr, Herma Percy, Marlene Ferreras, Greg Hoenes, Siroj Sorajjakool and Hans Gutierrez, with an afterword by John Webster.\n“I believe our faith, hope, and love are valuable resources for meaningful and thoughtful responses to the burning issues of race and racism in our world. Although we might not all agree on our approaches to this discussion, I believe this book can aid in our continuing dialogue on how we can better understand each other and promote the idea that, in Christ, we are all equal at the foot of the cross. May this be reflected as readers respond with the best of our thinking, speaking, and acting in our churches and cultures, neighborhoods and nations.” 
—Dr G Alexander Bryant, President, North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church\n“A House on Fire seeks to address our silence on the sin of racism and achieves the goal through shared thoughts of a group of writers who boldly and clearly address the biblical issue of social justice. I believe it is a must-read for everyone who desires to be informed and move toward a critical evaluation of themselves and the denomination—and to make a corrective adjustment both personally and corporately.” 
—Dr Ricardo Graham, former President of the Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists\n“I hope this book spreads far and wide. Seventh-day Adventists need it: the sins of racism and casteism in their various manifestations are pervasive among us. Thank God for this collection of honest, hard-hitting essays.” 
—Dr William Johnsson, author and retired editor, Adventist Review\nMaury D Jackson is Associate Professor of Practical Theology at La Sierra University in Riverside, California.

A House on Fire: How Adventist Faith Responds to Race and Racism

Jackson, Maury D

September 1, 1939: "The stillness of the morning was suddenly shattered when three German fighter planes appeared from behind the mountain of Kubalonka. They were in strict formation, one slightly in front of the others, as if taking part in a demonstration, barely above ground level. I could see the grey fuselage, the pilots in the cockpits and the ominous black crosses on the wings. The noise was deafening. The three planes were flying toward me at terrific speed. The noise alone felt like it would shake all my teeth out. I saw the flicker of flames as the first plane fired its guns, and heard the trees above my head splintering as the stream of bullets hit them. Branches toppled down. Cattle panicked. Leaves and twigs sprayed across the field. The ricocheting bullets whined around the valley." 
War had come to Poland and 10-year-old Paul's life had suddenly changed. Forced to abandon any outward allegiance to their Polish heritage and Seventh-day Adventist faith, Paul's family were determined to keep obedience to God foremost. 
"Paul Cieslar's story is also that of his family and his church, one of faithfulness and endurance in the face of grave threats and many hardships in occupied Poland. Their story should inspire our faithfulness and renew our trust in a God who is with us always." —Geoff Youlden, presenter, Beyond the Search 
About the author: Paul Cieslar is now retired and lives near Melbourne, Australia, having served as a pastor and church leader in a number of countries around the world.

Do Justice Our Call to Faithful Living

The first Seventh-day Adventist missionaries arrived in Australia in 1885. Six years later, one of the church’s co-founders Ellen G White arrived in this distant land. Then aged 64, she was unsure of this calling and expected to stay no more than two years.Ellen White’s time in Australia and New Zealand grew to nine years and represents her most mature and pioneering work. Her leadership saw the church grow significantly with new churches planted in many cities and towns, the establishment of what became Avondale College and Sanitarium Health Food Company, and publication of The Desire of Ages.But these stories—many previously unpublished—also highlight Ellen White’s personal ministry close to her adopted home at “Sunnyside”, establishing a country home with a large household, supporting new church members and serving people in her local community.“While the leadership Ellen White gave the church in Australia was impressive, her attempt to emulate the loving actions of Jesus in her own life are as much a part of Stories from Sunnyside. It is no wonder that her neighbours, including those not of Ellen White’s religious faith, loved and respected her; likewise, those who knew Ellen White best and worked with her most closely during the years she lived half-way around the world from her home country. Getting to know more of the real Ellen White—who she was and what she was like on a daily basis—will enrich your reading of her writings.”—Elder Jim Nix, Director, Ellen G White Estate, Silver Spring, Maryland, United States“I have been blessed in reading this fascinating and carefully researched account of Ellen White’s time in Australia.” —Dr Allan Lindsay, church historian, Keepers of the Flame and Tell the WorldMarian de Berg has served for more than 29 years as Administrative Assistant at the Ellen G White/Seventh-day Adventist Research Centre at Avondale College of Higher Education in Cooranbong, Australia.
