Abstract
This article discusses the findings of an empirical study that investigated the attitudes
of different sections of the membership of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA)
Church to the socio-economic and political struggles in Nigeria. The study sought to
explore how this denomination�s theology and missional orientation have limited its
role in the holistic development of Nigerians. The article argues that the proclamation
of the SDA Church�s unique message and its involvement in transformational
development should not be mutually exclusive.
