The Seventh-day Adventist Church's flagship magazine in North America, the Adventist Review, received four awards and three honorable mentions from the Associated Church Press (ACP) at the trade group's annual convention this week.

At the May 8 ceremony in Arlington, Virginia, the Review won awards for writing, design and its website.

"We're simply delighted that the excellence of our print and website operations and the professionalism of our editorial team have been recognized again by such a significant press group," said Review editor and executive publisher Bill Knott.

One Review story picked up an Award of Excellence in two categories. The story Seeing the Sparrow Fall by Dixil Rodríguez won in the categories of "Feature Article: Magazine, Long Format" and "Devotional/Inspirational Long Format."

Another publication by the Adventist Church, Ministry: International Journal for Pastors, won the Award of Excellence in the Magazine Cover category for its April 2009 issue, Preaching Through a Storm.

The Review received a second-place Award of Merit in the category "Publication Website," as well as an Award of Merit for a June 18, 2009 illustration by Bill Tymeson.

The Review also picked up three Honorable Mentions: one for the June 25, 2009 special issue Good Health: More Than an Apple a Day; another for Knott's April 2009, editorial Good and Green; and a third for managing editor Stephen Chavez's April 16, 2009 profile of vocalist Del Delker titled, "I Know He Watches Me."

The ACP, founded in 1916, is "a community of communication professionals brought together," according to its website, "by faithfulness to their craft and by a common task of reflecting, describing, and supporting the life of faith and the Christian community." Nearly 200 publications, websites, news services, and individuals are ACP members.

Adventist Review began publication in 1849, 14 years before the Adventist Church was formally organized. Today, Adventist World, the international paper for the church, which appears in seven languages monthly, joins the Review in communicating news of the world church to its constituency. Adventist World reaches 8 million readers a month.
