Dr. Charles Scriven is president of Kettering College of Medical Arts, a part of Kettering Health Network in Dayton, Ohio. At this diverse Adventist institution he has had plenty of opportunity to think about how to be Adventist in the midst of difference. He and his wife, Rebekah Wang , a physician, have three grown children. For fun, the author reads. He loves theology and history, and dabbles in politics and literature.
