Valuegenesis II results as compared with

Valuegenesis I brought some mixed news toour

attention. The good news 96% ofAdventist

kids see themselves as being religious, but Bible reading is down by 10% (to 29%)

EGW reading is down 50% (to 6%)

21% have daily family worship

50% still think they have to work for

their salvation.
