As of December 31, 2018, the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church had 88 718 churches, 72 843 companies , and a global membership of 21 414 779. (Adventist.org) Add to that 119 Colleges &amp; Universities, 34 Training Schools, 2 548 Secondary schools, 6 106 Elementary entities. Without a shadow of doubt, the Adventist Church is a global force to reckon with. The accomplishment of this towering record, plus many other milestones, given the colossal challenges the movement has had to grapple with over the 157 years of its existence, only attests to divine guidance.

Notwithstanding, the Adventist story could, and should, read radically greater than its current celebratory cadences if it were not for what I have decided to phrase as the institutional fallacies of the institution.
