This weekend was a conference that centered around Ellen G White (1827-1915), the co founder of the Seventh-day Adventist church. Ellen G White is an important figure in 19th century American religion and in American religion as a whole.
The Seventh-day Adventist church was founded in America in the 19th century at the the same time as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Church of Christ, Scientist.
Information from the conference will be published in a book, scheduled to come out in summer 2010. You can learn more about the participants in this conference at http://www.ellenwhiteproject.com/.
If you are interested in learning more about Ellen G White and the beginnings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, try a Google Scholar search, http://scholar.google.com/schhp?hl=en or a Google Book search, http://books.google.com/books. For those with early Seventh-day Adventist ancestors, learning more and reading the writings of the early church will provide a better understanding of your ancestor's life.
