To remain relevant and accessible, adjusting to an online presence and providing digital resources previously published as a physical product is vital. The global church project of the recently launched <em>Encyclopedia of Seventh-day Adventists (</em>ESDA) is a prime example.</p> <p>The <em>Seventh-day Adventist Encyclopedia’s</em> first edition, published in 1966, quickly became outdated. Additional updates and revisions were completed in 1975 and 1996. The footprint and face of the Adventist church today differs greatly from those of 54 years ago. Worldwide growth and change in the Adventist church drove the need for an updated resource.</p> <p>At the 2015 Spring meeting,  the General Conference Executive Committee voted on both the concept of the ESDA as an online resource and funding for the project. The General Conference Department of Archives, Statistics, and Research (ASTR), with David Trim as editor, was assigned oversight of the project.</p> <p>In early 2018, with the departure of the original managing editor, ATS member Dragoslava Santrac, Ph.D., accepted the position to bring the project to fruition.</p> <p>The project’s scope included new research and writing of articles. Worldwide input and expertise were sought to bring an international voice to the research and writing.</p> <p>An editorial team of 35 assistant editors, sub-editors, editorial consultants, and research assistants, along with 15 consultant editors from the Adventist Church’s 13 world divisions, the Middle East and North Africa Union, and the Ellen G. White Estate formed the backbone of the project. Among these were ATS members Felix Cortez, Michael Campbell, Frank Hasel, Alberto Timm, Denis Kaiser, Dennis Pettibone, and Ekkehardt Mueller. Artur Stele, a General Conference Vice President and, also an ATS Member, chaired the editorial board.</p> <p>In an interview with the <em>Adventist Review</em>, Santrac explained that the new encyclopedia is not an update but a new project. “Writing new articles for the <em>ESDA</em> does not suggest rewriting the history, although it will involve correcting inaccurate information, if such exists in the current encyclopedia,” said Santrac. “New research will bring a fresh perspective that will speak to contemporary generations of Adventists as well as updated information. The authors will verify the old sources and include new relevant materials.”<sup>1</sup></p> <p>The project is expected to incorporate more than 8,500 articles, eventually.  Using an online edition allows for expansion and updates as needed. Employing editorial input from all divisions creates the ability to collect materials from the local field, including letters and diaries, oral interviews, and more.</p> <p>ESDA was initially scheduled to launch during the 61st General Conference Session in Indianapolis, Indiana. With the Session’s postponement, the decision was made to continue with the original launch date through an online event. On July 1, 2020, viewers tuned in from around the world for the official ceremony. During the event, David Trim, ESDA Editor, and ATS member, said, “We believe you’ll want to dip in and out of it and search it for its content because of its stories, but also because of its scholarship.”</p> <p>As the ESDA continues to expand, articles are still being accepted.

Organizers chose “The Bible and Last Day Events” as the theme of the symposium, which would present topics of relevant messages in today’s world.</p> <p>            The online symposium was held July 11-18. Organizers utilized social media apps such as Facebook and YouTube to promote the event. The first day that advertising went out, within the first hour 3,000 users had seen the promotion. That number continued to grow. Viewers from around the world including South America, Europe, Asia, and Canada responded to the advertising. Eventually, over 500,000 people saw the presentations.</p> <p>            Several ATS members were among the symposium presenters, including Richard Davidson, Jiří Moskala, Joel Iparraguirre, Roger Ruiz, Alberto R. Timm, Elias Brasil de Souza, and Gerhard Pfandl.</p> <p>            After the speakers presented their message, a question-and-answer segment allowed viewers to connect. The successful symposium didn’t end with the closing program. A weekly live program titled “Echoes of the Symposium” airs every Friday night. You can watch the presentations here. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/cccsda">https://www.youtube.com/cccsda</a> Several ATS members are featured speakers, including Ranko Stefanovic, Roy Gane, and Jon Paulien</p> <p>Additionally, the presentations were compiled as articles into a book titled <em>Eventos finales: Una exposición bíblica y contemporánea</em>, </p> <p>which is available for order on Amazon.com.</p> <div class="block"> <figure><img src="assets/public/images/1395.jpg"></figure> </div> <h4 id="heading-62574"><strong>Featured Articles by ATS Members</strong></h4> <p>If you missed the following articles written by ATS members in the October 2020 issue of <em>Adventist World</em>, this is your chance to read them.
