| Summary: | The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Christian denomination with roots in the Millerites’ experience in North America in the nineteenth century. From its inception until the 1960s, Seventh-day Adventism was concentrated in North America, with growing but scant membership in other parts of the world. Between the late 1960s and the beginning of the 1990s, however, there were dramatic and unprecedented changes in the trajectory of Seventh-day Adventism. Thousands of converts were coming from the Global South: Latin America, Africa, and Asia. This article briefly describes the movement of the statistical center of global Adventism from 1863 to the present. |
