REVIEW -AUGUST 11. 1977 (847)

In connection with a recent consultative meeting of secretaries of
World Confessional Families held in Rome, B. B. Beach, secretary of the Northern
Europe-West Africa Division, one of the 15 participants and the only Adventist
in the group, presented a book and a medallion to Pope Paul VI on May
18.
The book presented was the Adventist missionary book Faith in Action,
and the medallion was a gold-covered symbol of the Seventh Adventist Church.
The medallion is an engraved witness to the Adventist faith in Christ as
Creator, Redeemer, and soon-coming Lord, in the cross and Bible, and in the
lasting validity of the Ten Commandments. While the other commandments are
represented simply as Roman numerals. the words of the fourth- 'Remember the
sabbath day, to keep it holy" are written out.
The Conference of World
Confessional Families usually meets once a year. It is not an organization, but
an informal, unstructured forum for consultation and the exchange of useful
information. W. D. EVA See more here... http://www.sdadefend.com/Reports/popemedl.htm
