Separated at Birth?

Meet Michael Steele, A Republican politician recently appointed Chair of the RNC. Could he be Adventist Evangelist Doug Batchelor's long lost twin brother? Consider the evidence:Both do the clasped hands=sincerity thingBoth know the power shake routineBoth enjoy a good photo op

Both talk with their hands

Michael Steele = 13 letters. Doug Batchelor = 13 letters

Both men lean far to the right. Both men wear oval-shaped glasses. Both men sport the "deforestation" hairdo. Both men counter their "low tide" hairstyles with dapper moustaches.

COINCIDENCE??? You be the judge.

Delbert W. Baker, Ph.D.

Delbert Baker has way too much going on to mention all of his accomplishments here. He is a prolific writer, a minister, and currently serves as president of Oakwood University. That's right, University. It's not Oakwood College anymore. 

Baker has done as much as or more than any other Adventist to promote racial and ethnic unity amid Adventism's rich cultural diversity. For more biographical information, visit Dr. Baker's Wikipedia page.

Jay Gallimore

Jay Gallimore is the president of the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. According to the Michigan Conference website, "The president is the spiritual leader of those in ministry and overseer of all the churches."

Gallimore likes evangelism. A lot. He is a former evangelist himself (though he still does evangelistic meetings), and he works with David Asscherick's ARISE Institute and Louis Torres's Mission College of Evangelism. By "works with" I mean hires people from the field schools of evangelism to work in the Michigan Conference.

Happy New Year!

Some Doug Batchelor after Andy Warhol to ring in the New Year.

"Anonymous" requested a version with a Christmas tree, mostly for the sake of snarkiness. I happily oblige. It's what I do. Happy Holidays, says Mr. Batchelor. (See comments)

David Gates

David Gates is a well-known missionary pilot who works out of Guyana in South America. Gates, a director of ADRA in the region, also speaks extensively to audiences around the world. He has generated significant buzz lately for his teaching that Jesus must return by or before 2031, and that the current global economic crunch will lead to an apocalyptic doomsday scenario that will usher in the Second Coming.

If it seems his head is in the clouds, remember that what goes up must come down. There's your mixed metaphor for the day.

You can read more about his unique teachings and see video clips by following this link.

Global Financial Crisis Hits Adventist Church

The global economic downturn that accompanied the recession in the U.S. (yes, it's official, folks) has brough tough times to the Adventist Church as well. An Adventist News Network (ANN) headline reads, "Adventist Church Tightens Belt." Adventist Today notes that the Adventist Church plans to reduce the subsidy it provides Loma Linda Universty (reg req.).

The Church, along with everybody else, is watching as its assets turn to smoke. The subtext of this Editorial Cartoon is the recent fire that damaged the Adventist Church Headquarters in the UK. ANN reports on the fire's devastation here.

Don C. Schneider

Don C. Schneider is the president of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists. He has his own TV show called Really Living. Really Living features Adventists who are evidently not pretend-living, they are (you guessed it) really living.

Schneider was a runner up in the recent Adventist popularity contest here on Caricatures of Adventists. He was barely edged out by David Asscherick. Although he did not win, he deserves his own caricature (you're welcome).

Schneider had surgery in October for a cyst in his brain. The cyst affected his vision and gate. Internet reports reveal that he is making a good recovery after the surgery.

Here's a nursery rhyme about Don Schneider:

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey (this was before she became a vegan).
Along came a spider dressed up like Don Schneider
And invited Miss Muffet to attend an evangelistic meeting.

THE END

The Adventist News Network reports the church is tightening its belt:

Seventh-day Adventist Church leaders announced financial restraints and cutbacks to deal with the current economic situation, ranging from delaying pay increases and budgeted increases in appropriations to reducing travel budgets and relocating executive meetings. Also, a hiring freeze is in effect for the church's General Conference, one of several entities at the church's headquarters building near Washington, D.C.

Obama - Not an Adventist

Just to satisfy you curious souls who can't sleep until you know for sure, President-elect Barack Obama is not Adventist, and so far, nobody has been able to conclusively demonstrate that he has any family connections to Adventism. So you can stop asking.

And he's not a Muslim either, in case you were still unaware of that fact. Now you know.
