L-DOC is a complimentary service of Oakwood University. The purpose of Leadership Documents on Command (L-DOC) is to provide the Oakwood University community of scholars, alumni, constituents and friends with a sampling of documents, articles and abstracts that have leadership and managerial significance for leaders (and persons interested in leadership) from all professions, most of which are written by current OC faculty and staff. Some of the documents are written by alumni or friends of Oakwood University. Selected documents, although not written by persons connected with Oakwood University, are shared because of their relevance. All L-DOC documents have academic and scholarly significance and deserve the interested reader’s attention. In most cases the comments and observations can be shared with the authors via the Webmaster. L-DOC may be downloaded and used only for not-for-profit purpose; and when appropriate, credit should be given. If desired for publication use or extensive quotation use, permission should be requested via the Webmaster. All DOCs are subject to change without notice. We hope you enjoy this service of Oakwood University. Thank you.

Achieving Ministerial Excellence As the twenty-first century approaches, the gospel ministry in general, and Seventh-day Adventist ministry in particular, is under increasing scrutiny. On the one hand there is question about ministerial preparedness in providing direction and spiritual leadership for the new millennium. On the other hand, there is question about the relevancy of the Advent message and how well it can meet the new millennial challenges. Put another way, the question can be phrased, "How well is ministry facilitating preparation for the soon coming of Jesus Christ?" |

Black, or African-American, Seventh -day Adventists constitute a true minority of a minority. They are members of a denomination that is itself a minority within the Christian community. And they are a cultural minority within their chosen spiritual household. As this volume reminds us, the experiences of African-American Seventh-day Adventists are different from those of other American Seventh-day Adventists. They also differ from other African-American churchgoers who belong to the all-Black denominations that house more than 80 percent of African-American Christians. |
