German Swiss Conference: Let Kids have Their Own Theology, Ideas, and Worship; Don't Correct Them

We are being confronted with a new philosophy in Adventism that essentially supports giving kids free reign to do whatever they want. However, if you allow the youth to follow their own ideas, they will blast loud rap music in our church-run academies. In the video above, you will see children from Katingawan Adventist Academy in the Philippines performing a dance exercise while playing the worldly rap and dance song Beautiful Life, featuring Sasha Lopez, Tony T, and Big Ali, on loudspeakers.

On June 13, 2023, the German Swiss Conference of Seventh-day Adventists located in Zurich, Switzerland, published an article titled, "Let the Kids Have Their Say!" In it, the church in Switzerland is advocating the idea that children are capable of expressing their own theology and worship and must be allowed to do so. This is a contributing factor in the proliferation of entertainment churches in Adventism. The church is being reformatted to reflect people's own perspectives, cultural backgrounds, and new societal standards. The new pervasive attitude is to accept the diversity of beliefs and the various forms of worship. The following was released by the German Swiss Conference:

• "The basic assumption is that children can produce their own theology."

• "It's about letting the children express their theological ideas and then developing them further with the children.

• "In order to provide the best possible support for the children, it is important to create a safe place in the children's service where the children can express their thoughts openly and without being judged."

• "Statements made by children are not corrected, but are noted with attention and interest."

• "One way children can present their own theological thoughts and ideas is through church services prepared and conducted by children."

• "How valuable it would be to give the children in our churches more opportunities to teach the adults new things about God."

Yes, God calls upon all people to worship Him, and in this call, children are included. But the question of whether kids should be allowed to create their own theology and worship experience is not biblical. Children need supervision and, more importantly, guidance. The youth should and must engage in worship, but always in a manner that aligns with the written word. And that is not something left up to the kids to determine on their own.
