Did the Blueprint Break?
Posted by: | CommentsFrom David Grams
A review of the book The Broken Blueprint.
This little book review is largely motivated as a response to a request given me some time ago by a thoughtful member of Weimar’s Board…and whom I suppose by now is quite sure that I’ve forgotten all about it!
I will confine my response primarily to the first two sections of the book; a review that can provide a template for those who seek to evaluate the remainder of the volume and other similarly constructed books.
So now, what do you say? Let’s plunge into the publication! The Broken Blueprint, by Vance Ferrell, is a small, attractive paperback of more than 400 pages that is packed with fascinating historical vignettes, insights calculated to arrest the interest of any serious student of Adventist educational history.
Let’s open up by examining a word from the title—Blueprint. A dictionary definition of “blueprint” suggests that it’s a “detailed plan”; and so our author lauds the concept of a divinely inspired and detailed plan for Adventist education.
Weimar/Amazing Facts Merger
Posted by: | CommentsUPDATE: The Weimar/Amazing Facts merger has taken place. The document discussed below is a working document and may not have made it into the final agreement in it’s entirety.
A note from David Grams:
Attached is a little paper that was sent to me. It’s from the lawyer on Weimar’s board who, I believe, is also president of something with OCI.
Like the Psalmist I would be exercising myself in matters too high for me to make a comment—till Ilearn more.
I’ll just leave this with all of you and watch for your incisive comments.

Weimar Institute of Health & Education Board Votes to Close College
After 30 years of training Seventh-day Adventist youth and young adults for lives of consecrated ministry, the Board of Directors of Weimar Institute of Health & Education voted to close the college program as of June 20, 2008. Taking fiscal responsibility, the difficult decision came after seeking various financial and ministries solutions for several years.
“We are not abandoning our goals for the educational aspect of our program. We are going to keep that an essential part of our mission. We have to get down to bedrock and develop a solid financial foundation. We must rebuild from the ground up,” says Bob Hancock, acting Chief Operating Officer and Board Chairman.
