From Dr. Bacchiocchi's newsletter:
"SEPTEMBER 15: WORLD'S WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION CONFERENCE
Location: Adam's Mark Hotel, 2544 Executive Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46241. The hotel phone number is: (317) 248-2481.
This is the international World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union that brings together WWCTU delegates of different denominations from all over the world.
Ellen White was very active in this organization and was often featured as the keynote speaker. Our Adventist church had an active Temperance program in the past. Today we hear little from our pulpit about Temperance, partly because alcohol and drugs are seen more as a medical than a moral issue.
I have been invited to deliver the keynote address on Saturday, September 15, 2007 at 10: 30 a. m. Prior to my lecture, there will be a church service from 9:00 to 10:00 a. m. My powerpoint lecture is entitled "The Christian and Alcoholic Beverages." I will be sharing the highlights of my book Wine in the Bible, dealing with the biblical imperative of total abstinence.
If you live in the Indianapolis area, I would urge you to attend the meetings, especially on Saturday. For directions and more detail information, contact Sarah R. Ward, WWCTU President, at (765) 345-2306."
