In recent years, religious
liberty has been the topic
of much debate and discus-
sion. In fact, the Barna
Group released a report show-
ing that concerns over reli-
gious freedom in America
have grown significantly.
From overt concerns over the
right to worship, to people
upset about coffee cups they
felt didn’t represent the
Christmas holiday, the con-
versation has often been heat-
ed.
Beginning Thursday, April
28, the Florence Seventh-
Day Adventist Church will
explore this fascinating sub-
ject as revealed through the
Bible, in addition to a source
that illustrates the topic per-
fectly: the life of the Emperor
Constantine.
Shadow Empire begins at 6
p.m. in the Florence Seventh-
day Adventist Church, 4445
Highway 101 in Florence.
It will continue Friday, April
29, at 6 p.m., and Saturday,
April 30, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
This is a free event.
Shadow Empire is a series
hosted by Voice of Prophecy
speaker
and
director
Shawn Boonstra, and will
take a documentary-style,
Bible-based approach to this
topic.
Boonstra recently traveled
to countries such as Serbia,
Italy and Turkey to make his-

tory come to life and reveal
little-known details about the
intriguing historical figure of
Constantine.
Boonstra was even granted
rare access to a major archeo-
logical dig site, on the loca-
tion believed to be one of
Constantine’s homes.
It’s the story of an unlikely
emperor born out of wedlock
and into poverty, who rose to
power against staggering odds
and whose legacy has endured
for centuries. The story of the
costs and sacrifices made in
the name of religious freedom
will approach his life story
from a new angle.
“This series will be an hon-
est examination of the church
and prophetic history that will
answer many questions peo-
ple have today,” said
Boonstra. “By simply taking a
fascinating trip into the past,
the world we live in now will
suddenly make a lot more
sense.”
This series will address
questions such as:
Was the marriage of
Constantine’s
government
and Christianity a good thing
for Christians?
Why did the early
Christians have so much trou-
ble fitting in?
Did Bible prophecy really
predict that the government
would persecute the church?
Was it a good idea for the
Roman emperor to step in and
try to solve the internal dis-
putes within the church?
If Christians really are
Jesus’ followers, then why do
they still have disputes?
All are welcome to attend
this free event, and all atten-
dees will receive a copy of
Boonstra’s
new
book,
“Shadow Emperor.”
The Florence Seventh-day
Adventist Church is thrilled to
be hosting this series.
“Shadow
Empire”
will
involve both documentary-
style and live elements, fea-
turing local moderator Pastor
Andy Wittenburg.
“During Shadow Empire,
you
will
learn
how
Constantine’s impact contin-
ues to echo through the lives
of every person on earth
today,” said Boonstra. “I hope
you will join us for this
intriguing study.”
Topics will include: “The
Rise of the Early Church,”
“The Persecution of the
Church,” “A Marriage of
Church and State” and
“Constantine’s Christianity.”
