(S1, E18): The General Conference

from Adventist History Podcast Hosted by Matthew Lucio

In this episode (the final of our trilogy covering the organization of the Adventist church), we talk about the final steps that led to the formation of the general conference, and it's first president, who just happens to be the Adventist church's first "badventist." Along the way, we also eavesdrop on the infant church's idea on whether belief in Ellen White as a prophet should be required to anyone who wants to become an Adventist. The answer may surprise you! The What: The Adventist History Podcast is a monthly podcast telling a story of the Seventh-day Adventist Church hosted by Matthew J. Lucio. It is a part of the Adventist History Project, whose mission is to provide people with a working knowledge of Adventist history.
