In celebration of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination’s 150th anniversary, Canadian University College's library hosted, February 10-14, a traveling exhibit that presents an overview of Adventist history from its beginnings in the Millerite Movement to the worldwide organization it is today. While the name Seventh-day Adventist was chosen in 1860, it was not until 1863 that the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists was officially formed, providing the church with its legal organizational structure and name.Created by the staff of the General Conference Office of Archives, Statistics, and Records, the traveling display is a replica of a permanent exhibit inaugurated May 20-21, 2013, at the headquarters of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Silver Spring, Maryland, to honour of its founding. Please visit United for Mission: One Hundred and Fifty Years From Great Disappointment to General Conference to read more about the formation of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination.
The exhibit was brought to CUC, advertised and displayed thanks to the efforts of librarians Sheila Clark and Darel Bennedbaek.
