Pastor’s Page Mind and Spirit: A Celebration of Faith and Learning Once a year, thanks to the continuing generosity of the University Church, Loma Linda University devotes a special Sabbath to consider our ministry of education in the unique setting of a health sciences university. Many people do not realize how unique and special Loma Linda University is. It has the only genuinely faith-based medical and dental programs in the United States (most of our other programs are fairly unique as well). There are several Jesuit institutions that offer medical programs, but none of them includes religion in the curriculum. They are simply secular programs offered at faith-based universities. Loma Linda is a health-science university that builds faith and wholeness into every single degree and certificate program. In light of recent publicity suggesting that religion can have a positive effect on overall health, Loma Linda is well-positioned to be at the cutting edge of health care in the decades to come. There is no better place to combine science and faith, mind and spirit. The program this weekend focuses in particular on the “spirit” side of the equation. In October of 2007 there was a landmark conference at Andrews University commemorating the 50th anniversary of the publication of Questions on Doctrine, a book responding to a series of questions about Adventist faith posed by significant figures in the Evangelical world. The book convinced the Evangelicals that Adventists were genuine Christians, but became extremely controversial in Adventist circles, ironically, leading to serious divisions among scholars, pastors and lay people. The conference at Andrews resulted in a significant amount of healing and understanding among the major players in the controversy. This was so significant for the Seventh-day Adventist Church that it was felt a “mini-QOD” program would be a great benefit to the Loma Linda community, featuring presenters from the local area and a special guest, historian George Knight. The sermon today explores a theme presented at the Andrews QOD conference by the speaker, Jon Paulien, Dean of the School of Religion here at Loma Linda University. Healing and understanding comes when people discover that “there is more than one right way to think.” Jon Paulien, Dean School of Religion Loma Linda University
