What are progressives and moderate adventists?

[WaltonM]

My knowledge of Adventists is sketchy. My knowledge of progressive and moderate adventists is...nonexistent.

So what are the issues? Are there Adventist churches that are progressive and moderate, or is it more of an individual type of thing?

Welcome, Walton. I'd encourage you to check out the sticky at the top of this forum. It offers some helpful information on this subject.

It depends Walton on who you ask I suppose, and for the most part some of it is how a person might see themselves.... For example, I would consider myself an extreme progressive.... but moderate sda's probably agree with most of the beliefs of the church but aren't dogmatic about them.... progressive sda's would probably reject several beliefs of the church as well as encourage review and revision of others....
