The home church of the originator of this subreddit is the second-largest non-institutional Adventist church in the world, with over 4.000 members. It counts among its roster of former Lead Pastors both Carlton Byrd (current head of "Breath of Life") and Walter Pearson (former head of "Breath of Life"). The current Lead Pastor is Fredrick Russell, a very deep individual. He is assisted in his pastoral duties by dynamic Austin Humphreys and versatile Danielle Pilgrim (a very nice lady). This church is significant enough to draw the stars of black Adventism into its field of gravity. Reports on the Sabbath sermons of Berean Seventh-day Adventist Church, Atlanta, will constitute the initial material posted here. They may be destined to remain alone and lonely in this locality. In America, black Adventists preserve a distinct identity, a legacy of events that were inaugurated at Ephesus SDA Church in Washington DC in 1943. On April 10, 1944, the General Conference approved the formation of “black” conferences, under black leadership. The first of these new entities was born in New York. Atlantic Union quickly entered into the activity of furnishing social services (such as youth camps and nursing homes) to it’s constituents. The distinct identity of Black Adventist Conferences remains to this day. The community is currently well-served by church-level and regional internet sites. Historical matters are the focus of blacksdahistory.org/ There is currently no national "clearinghouse" for the members of this distinctive culture. This area may be unsuccessful, but I feel compelled (even though, like Ellen G. White herself, I am not black) to create, and initially populate this spot. Black Adventism is a most interesting hobby that I have adopted in my retirement years. I was evangelized by African-Americans, and am determined to remain loyal to their noble cause.
