[For those seeking an up-to-date list of Adventist blogs, Ken McFarland at the Right End of the Telescope blog claims to have the largest Adventist blogroll "on the net". As near as I can tell he's correct.]

Wow! That took a long time. We should really start an Adventist blogroll. Hope it helps some Sevies connect on the web.

Please let me know if any of the links are faulty.

UPDATE (4-7-06): Published some updates to this list.

  4. Yes! An Adventist Blogroll sounds excellent! In fact, why stop there? make it a Hub of sorts, like Boing Boing! Thanks for noticing me! Wow, I'm honoured.

  5. Can this adventist blogroll include non-english blogs?

    I'm thinking each language would need its own blogroll/ring. I put only English blogs on my list because those are the ones I am able to read, not because I don't know of Adventist blogs in other languages.

    And what makes an Adventist blog? An adventist blogger, someone blogging something adventist or both?

    In my mind, an Adventist blogger makes an Adventist blog, whether they blog about 'Adventist' topics or something else. The criteria I used to make that list are a person who either (a) explicitly identifies themselves as part of the Adventist faith or church, or (b) a person whose activities match the Adventist lifestly to the place where I'm virtually certain they are Adventist.

  6. Dave,

    Thanks for the list - and linking to my blog! I'm honored ... and I agree with faith-t, I think there should be some sort of hub for adventist blogs and podcasts, etc.

  7. I put all of these sites on my blogroll at "Sabbath School for a New Generation" and I have included a link to instructions on how to import my blogroll into your own blogrolls.

  8. Here's a couple more for your inclusion.

    Faith in Context, found at www.montesahlin.com

    Intersections (my blog), found at www.ryanjbell.net

    Glad to know there are other Adventists in the blogosphere. Most of my blogging is not in the mode of talking to other Adventists about Adventist stuff, but at times I've really wondered who was out there and what we being talked about. I'm hoping I can make it through your list some time.

  9. Ya, I've picked up on your and Monte's blogs since I published the list. I think I found them through Michael at Sabbath School for a new generation. I plan to publish a list of updates in the coming month, and those two blogs will definately be on it.

    Thanks for the links. Keep 'em coming guys.

  11. Hey, thanks for including me on the list ... Faith and Shadow. Except, I'm not a graphic designer (not that there is anything wrong with that ...) ... but rather a writer/editor. My wife is the graphic artist. :)

  12. I just found this list when I was checking to see if there was anything like an Adventist blogroll ... I'll be bookmarking this and checking some of them out! I think it would be great if there was an SDA blogroll, especially if the scope was quite broad (so that those of us who are SDA, but don't necessarily blog about specifically "Adventist" things, could be included).

  13. I have only been blogging for a month now. I htought I will find many adventist blogs out there to connect with and was not finding any for weeks. I am glad I found your post with this list of adventist blogs. Maybe now I can find a few people to connect with now. I want my blog to be shared with others as well. Thank you for this list.
