Sabbath Recorder, March 2009

The March, 2009, Sabbath Recorder is available online here as a pdf.

This issue of The Sabbath Recorder continues the report on the sessions of the Seventh Day Baptist World Federation from last summer, including greetings from Jan Lek, the new General Secretary and Rev. Dale Thorngate, the new President of the SDBWF.

There is an interesting report about a recent visit by Pastor Dave Taylor and spouse to last month's sessions of the Brazil SDB Conference.

Don Sanford, Denominational Historian emeritus, provides the first of what is intended to be a series of biographical sketches - this one of Rev. Thomas B. Brown, a 19th Century pastor, writer and leader. He quotes Rev. Brown's explanation of why he preached from a manuscript:

The older I get, the more important it is to say just what I want to say; no more, no less.

And there is more. Read this Recorder here.

The Sabbath Recorder is the magazine of the Seventh Day Baptist General Conference and has been regularly published in some form since 1844.
