Sheafe and Strachan: Lessons From the Careers of Rival Ministers

Sheafe's career is compared with that of a fellow black minister, Matthew C. Strachan, who at times opposed him on matters of Adventist church organization and authority, in an article published in the April 2011 issue of Ministry magazine. Entitled, "Proclaiming the Gospel and Changing Society," the article "reveals how these two men spent their lives -- exhausting themselves -- in fulfilling the gospel commission, changing both the Adventist church and society at large," writes Willie E. Hucks II, associated editor of the magazine.
