Nathan Brown reflects on the release of Tell the World, the “moviementary” of the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s early history. The temptation: to imagine these periods as a golden age. Despite the inevitable challenges and disappointments, they are “an invitation to live the same story in our time and in our place.“

It represents progress in an Adventist understanding of how visual media works best: as a communicator of attitudes, emotions and values rather than of information.
