In this article the history of Adventism is viewed from the
perspective of plurality. A discussion of the concepts
“plurality” and “pluralism” indicate that, in this article,
“plurality” refers to differences and group forming, while
“pluralism” refers to an ideological view of plurality.
Differences and disputes were very much part of the
Millerites or Advent Movement out of which the Seventhday
Adventist Church developed. The concept
“Adventism” includes the Advent Movement and Seventhday
Adventism. Plurality is definitely a characteristic of
Adventism, and Adventists are consequently facing the
challenge of dealing with differences and group forming in
a constructive manner. The history of Adventism is divided
into three sections: the Advent movement before 1844,
developments after the “Great Disappointment of 1844”,
and the later fragmentation within Adventism. The article
shows that Adventists will have to develop a greater
awareness of plurality, that they will have to come to a
better understanding of how the church traditionally dealt
with plurality, and that they need to accept the challenge of
developing a theory that will enable them to deal with
plurality more effectively. The situation in South Africa
requires special attention as far as this issue is concerned. |
