"An international networking association for Seventh-day Adventists in public office is expanding,
with the Brazilian launch of a regional chapter of the World Association of Adventists in Public Office (WAPOA). Some 60 Adventist lawmakers, members of the judiciary, and others in public roles met Dec. 5 in central São Paulo to discuss the unique opportunities—and challenges—of church members who hold political or civic office.
WAPOA is a worldwide organization that was formed this year on the sidelines of the General Conference Session in San Antonio, Texas, by an international group of 21 Adventists in public office—including ambassadors, legislators, state ministers, members of international bodies, and members of the judiciary. The founders of WAPOA saw the organization as way to connect Adventists around the world who serve in high public office. They also believed it could help nurture stronger ties between the church and these Adventist members, whose unusual professional life can sometimes lead to a sense of isolation." ANN
For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.
