About this week’s presentation:
Following up his presentation last Sabbath on 19th century Adventist interactions with Chinese immigration and the Chinese exclusion movement, Julius J. Nam leads this coming Sabbath's discussion based on this July 30 Spectrum article, “For Whites Only: Generosity and Segregation in Adventism.” where he narrates the story of Adventist philanthropists W.B. and Edna Forsyth of Chicago whose magnificent but complicated legacy persists today in Adventism. This article is the second in Julius's Spectrum series on lived experiences of race relations in Adventism. The first article, which we discussed last week, is entitled “Did Ellen White and Other Early Adventists Fail on the Chinese Question?
Julius J. Nam is Director of the Honors Program and Professor of Theology, Law, and Conflict Resolution at La Sierra University. A former federal civil rights and terrorism prosecutor and acting director of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Community Relations Service, he holds a PhD in Adventist Studies from Andrews University and a JD from UCLA School of Law. He has taught religion at Loma Linda University and Pacific Union College and served as a pastor in Adventist churches in South Korea, Michigan, and Los Angeles.
