On the cover: Faithful in service—Adventist Health Bakersfield caregivers were among the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, as they continue their lifesaving work on the frontlines of the fight against the virus. The importance of service is the theme for the Recorder this month.
February is Black History Month, an appropriate time for us to begin an important series on Social Justice that will extend over the next few months. Charles Mills is a well-known Adventist author of books for both adults and children; over the upcoming months he will lead us through a sentence-by-sentence exploration of the Social Justice statement that was voted by the Pacific Union Executive Committee last summer. Articles for both adults and children begin on page 10.
