Church History Trivia
A Word to the Little Flock (
) by Ellen G. White, written in 1847, is a brief yet significant publication in early Adventist history. It addresses believers recovering from the Great Disappointment of 1844, offering encouragement and theological insights to sustain their faith. Co-authored with James White and Joseph Bates, it discusses visions, biblical prophecy, and key doctrines such as the sanctuary message. While not directly organizing a church structure, it contributed to shaping early Adventist theology and identity.
