1888—Issues, Outcomes, Lessons

Discussion questions:

1. If the Minneapolis conference was a turning point, was the turn for the better or for the worse?

2. What law or laws is Paul referring to in Galatians 3:19-24:? (See The SDA Bible Commentary, Ellen G. White Comments, vol. 6, pp. 1109, 1110.)

3. If all parties’ at the Minneapolis conference had heeded Ellen White’s plea for Christian kindness and tenderness, how would the conference have been different?

4. Did Ellen White’s approval of Waggoner’s Minneapolis messages give a carte blanche endorsement to everything he taught?

5. How would you have behaved if you had been a delegate at the 1888 General Conference session?
