Article Re-write

The arhived discussion about whether to delete this page or keep it concluded that it is in dire need of a re-write to represent a NPOV and a more Encyclopaedic in style.

This is a project that will require some deal of understanding, particularly in view of the historical dispute between the International Missionary Society and the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement as to which organisation is the original representative of the denomination's worldwide church adherants. Until 1952, administrators of the Seventh day Adventist Reform Movement's world affairs all claimed to belong to the one organisation responsible for the oversight of its member Union Conferences - the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement General Conference. But a division among delegates to the 1951 General Conference session in Utrecht, Netherlands led to a visible schism within the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement world-wide. One faction of the 1951 session re-organised as a world governing body under the International Missionary Society's registration as used in Germany. The other faction re-organised and continued with the pre-schism General Conference corporate registration made in 1949 in the USA.

I have been working on the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement article (trying to clean up some non-NPOV stuff, and revise the style).

I would like to help as much as possible to harmonise both articles, while recognising the dispute, yet consolidating the history. Anyone out there who would like to help me? Engellion (talk) 12:37, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
