Déclaration du Comité Exécutif de l’Union de Fédérations de Columbia 20 novembre 2018.

C’est avec une allégeance sans faillible et un amour pour la mission, le message et les croyances fondamentales de l’Église Adventiste du Septième Jour que nous lançons un appel aux dirigeants de l’Eglise mondiale à reconsidérer le vote issu du Concile Annuel de 2018 qui vise à approuver un document intitulé Respect et pratique  des Actions du Comité Exécutif de la Session de la Conférence générale(CG)".

Thanksgiving is the holiday of gratitude to God for the blessings He has bestowed upon us. Our families, relationships, employment, wealth, even successes, all belong to Him. God is the Creator, and He determined that all should live as stewards of His assets.

One of the meaningful gifts God has given is the gift of children, and their spiritual, emotional and physical welfare depends on parents. If you are a parent, think about this question: In the unlikely event of your passing, whom would you choose as the guardian of your children? Where would they live? Who will ensure they attend Adventist schools or even places of worship? Beyond verbalizing the answers to these questions, do you have all of this in writing yet?

El Comité Ejecutivo de la Conferencia de la Unión de Colombia emitió esta declaración el 20 de noviembre.

Es con inquebrantable lealtad y amor por la misión, el mensaje y las creencias fundamentales de la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día que hacemos un llamado a los líderes mundiales para que reconsideren la votación hecha en el Concilio Anual 2018 para aprobar un documento titulado "Respeto y práctica de la Sesión de la Conferencia General (CG) y Acciones del Comité Ejecutivo de la Conferencia General”.
