Adventist Peace Radio, Episode 75: Moe & Nathan Go To School #12

in ,

Moe Stiles and Nathan Brown discuss Christianity and human rights, Afghanistan, advocacy, systemic injustice, and Ellen White.

In March, 2021, Nathan and Moe commenced graduate studies in a Master of Human Rights program at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia. This podcast series is their thinking out loud about their educational experiences, their reflections on aspects of the material they are learning and wrestling with, and how this intersects with their Adventist faith and the faithful call to do justice in our world.

Nathan Brown is book editor at Signs Publishing Company, the Adventist publishing house based just out of Melbourne Australia. He is author of 17 books, including Advent, Of Falafels and Following Jesus, For the Least of These, Engage and Do Justice, and continues to write for a variety of publications around the world.

  • “The standard of the golden rule is the true standard of Christianity; anything short of it is a deception. A religion that leads men to place a low estimate upon human beings, who Christ has esteemed of such value as to give Himself for them; a religion that would lead us to be careless of human needs, sufferings or rights, is a spurious religion. In slighting the claims of the poor, the suffering and the sinful, we are proving ourselves traitors to Christ. It is because men take upon themselves the name of Christ, while in life they deny His character, that Christianity has so little power in the world.”—Ellen G White, Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, page 137.
