Our annual study weekend was taken this year by Pastor Reinder Bruinsma, of the Belgium Luxembourg Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

His subject was “Can Daniel and Revelation be relevant for today?” with a particular emphasis on reaching the postmodern audience, both within Adventism and in secular society.
