An advantage of Adventists would seem to be that their beliefs are not nebulous. They seem to have all their bases covered with regards to church organisation and creed. So it's pretty easy to find, in a cursory reading of 27 Fundamental Beliefs and their Church Manual, plenty to consider.

I just want to list some things here which struck me, without wanting to launch into any kind of solipsistic critique:

• Bible alone (naturally)


• I think they consider an Ellen G. White as a"Doctor of the Church", so to speak


• Sabbath as a perpetual ordinance - on which, more here


• Washing of feet as a sacrament, and joined to the Eucharistic Service


• Rebaptism for apostates


• No alchohol (except presumably at communion)


• No secular jazz or rock music

So there you are.
