The Seventh-day Adventist Church as a global organisation is designed to place the local church in the driving seat when it comes to mission and leadership. Every 4-5 years (5 years globally) we elect administrators to serve the global movement to equip, resource and build the capacity of members towards mission.
In the run up to the 63rd Session of South England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Luke Whyte, Leader of Templeway Church conducted a 30-day satirical campaign to be elected as president of the South England Conference and in the process; stimulated cross-generational dialogue and engagement in the workings of the church as an organisation, set out a compelling manifesto for change and highlighted some of the more subtle and insidious challenges within the cultures and dynamics of our church as an organisation.
In the eventuality of winning, Luke was fully prepared and ready to execute a clear mission and compelling vision. Although NEVER done before in the Seventh-day Adventist context, Luke Whyte created and presented his manifesto, all through social media. He solicited feedback, responded and clarified where necessary.
Here is that manifesto.

Creating an Effective & Engaging Email Marketing ProgramHolly A. Fisher
Research shows a vast majority of consumers want marketing messages via email. Despite all the other forms of communication available to us, email remains the go-to medium. Your nonprofit can use email marketing to share news, recruit volunteers, solicit donors and simply stay in front of your existing and potential supporters. Email marketing is a relatively inexpensive and largely effective way to market your organization.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
