Over the past 150 years, Seventh-day Adventists have built one of Christianitys most inventive and prosperous churches, all the while praying for the world to end as soon as possible.
A small band of believers has mushroomed to more than 17 million baptized members, including 1.2 million in the U.S. Nearly 8,000 Adventists schools dot dozens of countries. Hundreds of church-owned hospitals and clinics mend minds and bodies around the world.
You might expect Adventists to celebrate their success while marking their churchs 150th anniversary this May. Theres just one problem: the church wasnt supposed to last this long.
As they turn 150, Adventists still pray for the apocalypse | Religion News Service
