Portland Adventist
Medford Speaker
Elder QC. J. Ritchie, Seventh
day Adventist field secretary of
the Oregon Conference, Port
land, appealed to Medford Seventh-day
Adventists Saturday,
Nov. 23, to support the recent
action of the denomination's ex
ecutive committee declining the
request of the family day observ
ance committe supporting Sun
day closing to place a represent
ative on that committee. Mr.
Ritchie, who has been attending
the recent Portland meetings re-,
garding the establishment of a
"family day" clarified the posi
tion of the denomination.
"While we felt it was most
gracious of the leaders to invite
us to meet with them," Mr. Rit
chie stated, "but inasmuch as
all Seventh-day Adventist busi
nesses are already closed from
the hours of sundown on Friday
to sundown on Saturday and
church members do not engage
in business pursuits during that
time the problem was already
solved for our church members."
Mr. Ritchie also stated that,
while Seventh-day Adventists do
not object to any church's reg
ulations for its members regard
ing the observance of any day,
they feel that the present move
ment may lead to legislation
which they feel is essentially a
religious activitiy and would not
agree with the denomination's
policy of religious liberty for all
people regardless of race or
creed, and including those who
have no religious affiliations.
Elder Ritchie was guest speak
er at the concluding service of
the annual Week of Prayer held
in the Medford church Saturday.
