Abstract

It is the purpose of this article to investigate the context which shaped the major periods of organizational reform in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and to propose that continuing change needs to be made to those administrative structures in order to facilitate the realization of the mission of the church. The article will not precisely define those changes.
