The Seventh-day Adventist Christian Church has always believed that one of its main mandates is to promote a Bible-based concept of education that will “restore in man and woman the image of the Creator and lead them back to the perfection of when they were created. This must be the work of redemption. This is the goal of education, the great goal of life” (E.G. White, Principles of Christian Education, ADV Ed., 2002, p. 10).
It is for this reason that the “The Moon and the Sun” call for entries is being issued again this year by the IACB Institute, continuing what the Department of Education has done in past years. The competition announcement and application form to participate in this competition for the allocation of no. 4 scholarships (worth €500.00 each) reserved for undergraduates with Bachelor’s degrees; no. 4 scholarships (worth €750.00 each) reserved for CU undergraduates or master’s degree holders and no. 2 scholarships (worth € 1,000.00 each) for master’s and/or Ph.D. theses who have submitted thesis work on topics related to the area of spirituality, religion or the Adventist Church. Those who belong to the Adventist Church of the Italian Union and have graduated from all national non-Adventist universities in the 2020 academic year are eligible to apply. The application must be sent exclusively by registered mail with return receipt, by December 31, 2020 (postmarked) and should be addressed to the director of the IACB Institute: Davide Romano, IACB Institute, Via del Pergolino 12, 50139 Florence FI.
For this project, the IACB Institute collaborates with various Adventist entities including: the CeCSUR, the Adventist Youth Department and the AUDA-AMiCUS Association, and wishes to support and follow our young university students so that they may feel strong support from the church in the continued integration of their academic education into their own world of values and being “Adventist.” My wish for all who attend is that “the moon” and “the sun” of their lives may always reflect the face of Jesus. A brotherly hug.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own image, and the breath of that universal love which bears and sustains us, as it floats around us in an eternity of blist.
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek, then she continued her way. On her way she met a copy. The copy warned the Little Blind Text, that where it came from it would have been rewritten a thousand times and everything that was left from its origin would be the word “and” and the Little Blind Text should turn around and return to its own, safe country. But nothing the copy said could convince her and so it didn’t take long until a few insidious Copy Writers ambushed her.
