The 1902 Battle Creek Fire

Overview

In 1902 a fire would strike the Review and Herald in Battle Creek that was unquenchable, destroying the printing press. The cause of this fire is linked with Dr. Kellogg and his apostasy. The Kellogg crisis would test the church in its early years and provided a real challenge to the leadership at the time. Unfortunately Kellogg would go his own way and his Sanitarium, once so prosperous would eventually fade in significance.
