Humor, Christian leadership highlighted at retirement celebration for Daniel R. and Donna Jackson at NAD headquarters.

‍

A special message from NAD president, Dan Jackson about our current cultural environment.

The Oregon Conference has been working hard to effectively meet the needs of local congregations, while finding ways to responsibly deal with the financial challenges we currently face. That has meant many churches are now seeing pastoral transitions.

The Oregon Conference of theSeventh-day Adventist Church joins the chorus of voices to lift up the memory of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and the multitude of other black brothers and sisters whose lives were taken by unjust racially-influenced violence. We join the outcry for justice and raise our voice to stand in support of all our brothers and sisters who continue to live in an oppressive shadow of racially-derived mistrust, fear and abuse by the dominant society.

Daniel R. Jackson and his wife, Donna, have served at the NAD headquarters since his election in June 2010 at the GC Session in Atlanta, Georgia.
