APR096: A House on Fire, Episode 1
Welcome back to Adventist Peace Radio, the podcast of the Adventist Peace Fellowship. This episode, #96, is the first in a series based on the book, A House on Fire: How Adventist Faith Responds to Race and Racism. Dr. Maury Jackson and Nathan Brown edited the book, and it was published by Signs Publishing in Australia. In this first installment in the House on Fire series, Dr. Lisa Clark Diller joins Nathan and Maury to discuss the project and give us a broad introduction to it. More than a year ago, Nathan and I were talking about this project he was working on, and naturally our conversation turned to how we could bring the book’s themes to the podcast. This was back when he was still co-leading the series Moe and Nathan Go To School. So these several months later, I’m glad to say the series is finally all upons. And in a new twist, this series is actually being distributed by two outlets – here on Adventist Peace Radio, but also on Adventist Voices, the podcast produced by Spectrum: The Journal of the Adventist Forum. Together we hope to spread these conversations far and wide! If you would like to purchase the book for yourself so you can read the chapters written by the various podcast guests, please see the Show Notes for links. To access the show notes, just go to and look for episode 96. We’ve also started a landing page for the series that can be found in the Resources drop-down menu on our website. Let’s do quick introductions for the three peacemakers in today’s conversation. First, Maury Jackson is Chair of the Pastoral Studies Department and Associate Professor of Practical Theology for the HMS Richards Divinity School at La Sierra University. He is an ordained Seventh-day Adventist pastor with 15 years of experience in pastoral leadership. Next, Nathan Brown is Book Editor at Signs Publishing Company, the Seventh-day Adventist publishing house for the South Pacific. He is also a continuing student in a Master’s program in Human Rights, which you know if you followed the series—Moe & Nathan Go To School. And Lisa Diller is a history professor at Southern Adventist University and co-director of the Adventist Peace Fellowship along with Karah Thompson. And if you look through the endorsements in the book, you’ll find a literary thumbs-up from Lisa. Before we roll, I’ll give a little shout-out for Episode Two in the series. You won’t want to miss Maury and Nathan dialoguing with the Reverand Dr Matthew Burdette, who wrote the foreward to the book. So with the table set, here are Lisa Diller, Maury Jackson, and Nathan Brown: (roll interview) SHOW NOTES We hope you’ll read the book as you listen to the series.
