The worship and music "standards"/policies that have been historically voted by the @adventistchurch are white supremacist and evil and should be revoked and denounced ASAP. From now on I will not stop antagonizing my church about this until it is acknowledged and acted upon.
Popular SDA Evangelists promote xenophobic and - if we're being honest - subtly heretical ideas that specifically target music, worship, and cultural expressions that are tied to the African-American tradition. This IS THE CASE whether or not these evangelists explicitly say so.
This is a matter of ethical and theological integrity on the part of the church and we either confront it honestly and theologically, or we act like weak-minded, spineless parrots who just aimlessly repeat tradition.
The worship debate is over and racism must be the loser.
