The Suiderhof Seventh-day Adventist Church in Namibia sits almost directly in the center of the country, in the capital city of Windhoek. Members and visitors feel welcome there and often say so in online reviews. A couple of those reviews:
“Its a very nice and welcoming church” ~ DM
“Nice place to visit and beautiful people by heart” ~ AP
“Where I worship my Lord” ~ HV
The church met in a business meeting on April 9 and formally voted to request that the General Conference withdraw the 2015 ADCOM Vaccination Statement, and the 2021 Vaccination Reaffirmation Statement. After carefully reviewing both Statements, their Petition to the GCEXCOMM reads as follows,
We petition the GC EXCOM to publicly withdraw these statements and apologise for allowing such statements to be published and the subsequent harm they caused. In our view, these ADCOM Statements have severely impacted and undermined the foundation and principles of Religious Liberty as practiced and upheld by our Church Members.
