dc.description.abstract<p>This chapter explores the understanding of the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church held by teachers employed in Seventh-day Adventist Schools in Australia. It utilizes data collected as part of a worldwide research project examining the perceptions held by Employees of Seventh-day Adventist institutions of their relationship to the mission of the church. The focus of this chapter is the analysis of responses by Australian teachers to the open-ended question “If I were asked, ‘What is the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church?’ I would say:” as well as to a question where participants were asked to rank the importance of activities that the church could be doing as part of its mission.</p>
