I chat with Dr Young about his experience at Glacier View and all things Des Ford and Adventism.
May 2020, Second interview of Season two. With Dr John R. Godfrey. The SDAQ&A season that focused on the 40th Anniversary of Glacier View (Aug 1980) and Des Fords theological 'Trial' there. Many call this the most impactual event within Adventism since 1888's Righteousness by Faith Conference. What was going to be a mini, one month long 4-6 series set of interviews turned into 86 interviews with so many people that were there and more! Over maybe two years!! If you want to understand Glacier View - this is the Season that tells you everything you need to know. Next episode is with Dr Norm Young.
SDAQ&A S2: Ep1- With Dr William G. Johnsson. A Glacier View 40th Anniversary & Dr Desmond Ford Retrospective Series.
This Season we go DEEP into the event that nearly (or perhaps did) split the SDA Church in two!
We dedicate the entire second season to this topic!

Sadly Des passed away before these three episodes went to 'air'. In episode 3 his final comments are an expression of his love for the Gospel. What he believes it is and what it means to him. Quite amazing!
Here we have part two of this incredible three part series of interviews with Peter and Dr Des Ford. This episode is more informative and dynamic than the first as both have relaxed and gotten into the groove of the conversation!
Sadly Dr Desmond Ford passed away before I was able to upload this interview. You will hear me talking in the intro as if he is still with us.
We release these three interviews as a tribute to the humble, gracious and caring life he lived.
The interview was carried out in Des & Gil's home in late 2018.
To some, Des was a controversial and even divisive character, to others he was a loving father, friend, teacher, Bible student and deep thinker who contributed enormously in aiding Adventists to better understand Righteousness by Faith.
In this three part series you will hear Des, still sharp as a tack, sharing his love of the Gospel. His views on the Investigative Judgement. His respect for Adventism and Ellen G White as well as many clear and concise insights, thoughts and memories on the history and controversy that surrounded him during the '70s and beyond.
In true SDA Q&A style, we invite the listener to make up their own mind.
