The establishment
of the E.G. White Research Centre at Northern Caribbean University is not
only historic for the University and the Caribbean, but also marks the
beginning of a significant enrichment period in the life of the
institution and the region.
NCU is proud to have been selected to house
the second Centre to be established in the Inter-American Division. The
University is excited to host the many researchers, scholars, students,
church leaders, and interested persons who will utilize the services of
the Centre. Ellen G. White has been a stalwart of the SDA Church and her
writings have been a source of inspiration to the world.
The Centre at NCU will serve to bring
greater attention to the works of this great woman of God and will lighten
this corner to the world. The Centre will also serve to motivate many
persons to delve deeper into the life and works of Ellen Go. White. This
active, on-going research and study will undoubtedly serve to further
consolidate the principles, counsels, and guidelines that are left to the
Church as legacies through the inspired works of Mrs. White.
We thank God for guiding the leaders of the
Inter-American Division and The E.G. White Estate to site this resource
here at NCU. Through their insight this part of the world will uncover
more truth in its quest to understand God and His plan for mankind.
NCU therefore invites all persons to make
good use of the facility to broaden their knowledge and understanding of
the history and legacy of the church, as we seek to prepare ourselves to
be ready to enter into God's everlasting Glory.
