<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been invited to contribute to a progressive
Adventist blog, from a Catholic perspective. The blog is called
"Re-inventing the Adventist Wheel" and the url is <A
href="http://reinventingsdawheel.blogspot.com/">http://reinventingsdawheel.blogspot.com/</A>.
I'll be aiming at a monthly contribution. Please don't flood it with
messages that make it seem like a Catholic take-over! That's not the
aim.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My first post was today. The aim is to try to
foster better understanding between Catholics and Adventists - it won't be the
more defensive type of apologetics I've done on my website and blog thus far,
but rather more dialogue, and teasing out common understanding that might not be
recognised, as well as educate both sides about each other. Hopefully both
sides can benefit in a real way from this.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The progressive form of Adventism is not like the
traditional form, and certainly not like the form that puts up billboards
advertising the idea that the Pope is the Beast of Revelation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>For instance, on the blog the author states
"<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 100%"><EM><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 100%">I believe that
a doctrine of perfection found in the Sanctuary message of the Investigative
Judgement (fundamental #24) is not consistent with the finished work of Jesus'
death on the cross. In updating the </SPAN>meaning, "Judgment" should instead
emphasize working to model divine justice on earth.</EM>" - <A
