Listen "Fundamentalism + Ellen White"
Episode Synopsis
When did the Seventh-day Adventist Church decide that it was a good idea to add Ellen White’s name to their fundamental beliefs? What was going on at the time leading up to that decision? What on earth went down in 1980?!!As we wrap up the Ellen White series (we have one more episode left), we grapple with the more modern history of the church, and prepare to talk about where we go from here in the final episode.
