Discuss AY Honor African American Adventist Heritage in the NAD Answer Key

Categorization

I believe this should be categorized in the «Other» section, where the pins and awards go. The NAD sets aside awards such as «Pathfinder Evangelism» and «Adventist Church Heritage», and does not consider them as regular honors, since they incorporate more time and work to complete. I remember this being explained when I took the Basic Staff Training and I also teach this when I myself give the training.

I also wanted to know if there is a specific reason that the awards' requirements are not listed here, only the link (all of which are no longer working links). --w126jep 17:41, 14 September 2014 (EDT)

This honor is indeed a regular Pathfinder honor rather than an award. It was originally filed under the "other" category, because the Honors Committee was considering a new "Heritage" honor category, and this one would have been filed there. The committee eventually declined to add the Heritage category, so the honor, as per the committee's decision, went under Outreach. At the same time, Jonaten Tejel has undertaken the task of reviewing the Outreach category at the GC level with an eye towards reorganizing the Witnessing Master award, and adding a few other Master awards to the Outreach category. This is still under study as far as I know. The Adventist Church Heritage honor was also approved by the honor committee as an honor. --Jomegat 20:54, 14 September 2014 (EDT)

Oh - and the awards are not listed here because that was an oversight. I have no objection to adding them here at all. --Jomegat 20:55, 14 September 2014 (EDT) --

I guess I'm just confused about the name then. From what I've seen, all sources name this honor as an award. -- w126jep 22:02, 14 September 2014 (EDT)

I created a page for the Pathfinder Evangelism Award filed in the Other category. There are no answers really as it is all action. Of course the Outreach category name is now Spiritual Growth, Outreach and Heritage. I hope they do narrow the Witnessing Master and add add a Heritage Master and Community Service Master patch. That seems pretty easy. Can this honor be tagged as having an error in the requirements? I can't find that category. JadeDragon (talk) 19:46, 11 October 2014 (EDT)

^^That all happened :) I can't find Bradford's birthdate online anywhere. Maybe is can be found in his biography? Otherwise this honor is complete. JadeDragon (talk) 02:27, 21 October 2015 (EDT)
