The Third Culture Disciple

I was confronted with this when I had just begun the 8th grade. We had just moved from Tennessee to Indonesia. Two years later, we moved to Australia, and after a year and a half, we moved back to Tennessee. Not only had this been a lot of disruption, but each move left me feeling like I did not fit in. I did not realize why at the time; it was not until much later that I was introduced to the idea of third culture kids.

Hymnfest / Organ Recital September 21

"Now, As We Set Forth"

Appearing in the Advent Review... in September, 1874, was a brief letter from John Nevins Andrews. One of its sentences stands out. This sentence, starting "And now, as we set forth, we commit ourselves...", has become dubbed the "J.N. Andrews Benediction", and it finds frequent use at the close of major events on the Andrews University campus.
