Offensive Language in the Adventist Review

In an editorial published June 9, 2011, Bill Knott, the editor of the Adventist Review condemned people who pronounce the word "Adventist" differently the customary pronunciation among Anglo Adventists.

Knott wrote that people who pronounce the name of our church the way that is customary among West Indians, this is proof they do not have "a full understanding" of the church.

Claiming that a particular inflection of the English version of the name of our church is essential to a "full understanding" of our mission and identity is an astonishing claim. It is false. It is offensive.

Bill Knott ought to apologize or resign.
