Preserve SASDAC Heritage: STOP the Sale of Church Land

The Issue

Who is Impacted?

The potential sale of the Southern Asian Seventh-Day Adventists Church (SASDAC) land to Nova Randolph LLC (the buyer) impacts SASDAC members, the broader community, and future generations who value the site's cultural and religious significance. Past decisions by the Potomac Conference Preservation Committee and SASDAC Business Meetings may be undermined. The petition calls on administrative bodies within the Seventh-Day Adventist Church to prioritize the community's desires, emphasizing the importance of preserving historical and cultural heritage associated with the church land.

What is at stake?

The proposed sale of Southern Asian Seventh-Day Adventists Church (SASDAC) land to Nova Randolph LLC jeopardizes the community's cultural and religious heritage, disrupting practices for members and challenging past decisions. The potential loss of this sacred space impacts the identity and unity of SASDAC members and the broader community. The petition urgently seeks to prevent the sale and protect this vital cultural and religious asset.

Why is now the time to Act?

Immediate action is imperative because the potential sale of the Southern Asian Seventh-Day Adventist Church (SASDAC) land to Nova Randolph LLC is imminent. This poses an immediate threat to the community's cultural and religious heritage. Urgency arises from the need to prevent irreversible consequences, such as the loss of a sacred space and disruption of religious practices. Acting promptly increases the likelihood of influencing decision-makers, including President Charles A. Tapp and the administrative bodies within the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, such as Columbia Union, North American Division, and General Conference, to stop the sale. The petition seeks to preserve the historical and cultural significance of the SASDAC land for current and future generations.

 Note: This Petition is only for SASDAC Members to sign.
