Seventh-day Adventists have historically prioritized not only the dissemination of theological principles but also their practical application in daily life. Ellen White emerged as a steadfast proponent of the necessity for genuine and consistent social engagement throughout her life. She championed the cause of runaway slaves, endorsed the alcohol prohibition movement in the United States, advocated for the establishment of medical facilities, and personally attended to those in need, demonstrating that the value of humanity is best appreciated through a Christian lens. Additionally, the article offers a wider perspective on Ellen White’s contributions, which are often viewed with considerable bias outside the Seventh-day Adventist community.
