Is This Thing On? — Union College [NAD]

By Dan Jackson, March 15, 2017

You've Got Questions? We're ready. Listening. Engaged.

In a first, Adventist church leaders in North America met with students gathered at Union College to answer questions from the audience and social media during “Is This Thing On?” — a Facebook Live event on March 14, 2017.

Dan Jackson, president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in North America, and Alex Bryant, executive secretary, fielded questions from social media from young adults during the Q&A. Subjects included the Bible, church policy, Adventist lifestyle, theology, relationships and more.

Questions were submitted using #NADnow on Twitter and #NADnow Facebook.

The Gleaner is a gathering place with news and inspiration for Seventh-day Adventist members and friends throughout the northwestern United States. It is an important communication channel for the North Pacific Union Conference — the regional church support headquarters for Adventist ministry throughout Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. The original printed Gleaner was first published in 1906, and has since expanded to a full magazine with a monthly circulation of more than 40,000. Through its extended online and social media presence, the Gleaner also provides valuable content and connections for interested individuals around the world.
