Marcel Schwantes (aka Marcellus Maximus in my book) at Re-inventing the Adventist Wheel has posted his contribution to the Campmeeting 2.0 series on the 28 fundamental beliefs statements of Adventism.

“Not enough can be said about the importance of character and the fruit of the Spirit in the gift of leadership.

The character and relationships of such leaders are just as important as the effectiveness of their ministry.”
