    Principles of Action

    Participants support the decisions of the world church expressed through the General Conference. Participants seek unity on the basis of inspired truth rather than cultural compromise. Participants uphold God’s purpose for church organization and for pressing together rather than separation. Participants learn Protestant biblical interpretation—the historical-grammatical method. Participants are active and responsible members in their local congregation. Participants learn how to work effectively in board and constituency meetings. Participants commit themselves to pray for faithful workers, and for Heaven to provide godly, decisive leaders for the harvest.

    About World Church Affirmation Sabbath

    How Did World Church Affirmation Sabbath Begin? Affirmation Sabbath originated in conversations that arose between members of the Upper Columbia Conference Lay-Advisory Committee in March 2016, in the context of disregard by some North American Division church leaders for the voted decisions of the 2015 General Conference in Session. The eventual result was Affirmation Sabbath. Who is Behind World Church Affirmation Sabbath? The World Church Affirmation Sabbath Committee of Laypeople of the Upper Columbia Conference (WCASC for short) is composed of laypersons who are members in regular standing in Upper Columbia Conference churches and who support the Seventh-day Adventist world church.
