Adventist-owned Northern Caribbean University to host Xaymaca 2.0.
The Xaymaca celebrations have their roots in the African traditions brought to Jamaica. The festival is a way to celebrate and honor those traditions, and it is celebrated with much fanfare throughout Jamaica. This celebration parallels many of the other carnival celebrations, such as Carnival in Brazil and Mardi Gras in the United States, that take place around the time of Lent. Unfortunately, these worldly celebrations have been associated with revelry, drunkenness, sexuality, and a lot of music and dancing.
These kinds of traditions should have no part in the institutions that are supposed to reflect the character and culture of heaven. With their drumming, shouting, and dancing, many of today's festivals honoring culture and tradition share the very same characteristics found in pagan worship.

Let Us Stop Avoiding the Real Issues
As the 2025 General Conference Session convenes, with believers from around the world watching and praying, there is an unmistakable sense of frustration among many of the faithful. While we will be given lectures about returning our tithes and offerings-as outlined in the proposed 2025 Church Manual agenda-we must ask ourselves: is this truly the burning concern on the hearts of God's remnant people at this critical hour in history?

While walking down the hallway at the America's Center Convention Complex-the site of the 62nd General Conference Session-I saw Ganoune Diop approaching.
