cstroeck Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hi, I'm a new user of Accordance and was wondering if the Writings of Ellen G. White could be included in the Accordance platform. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Hi, I know it's only a subset, but we have "Conflict of the Ages" on the Accordance Exchange in the Tools section "Conflict of Ages Series submitted by Sean Reed. The file contains five user tools which make up the Conflict of the Ages series, a set of five books by Ellen White (one of the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church). Public domain. You can find it here. Search for "White" on the page. (or click the link above). Edited February 21, 2013 by Ken Simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim.ministry Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I also would be very happy, if Accordance will include the Writings of Ellen G. White to their Library, as they exist for Logos. She wrote a lot of inspired books, which are a great help for everybody. Thank you for your efforts Timothy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Steffens Jr Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I too would like to see them included in Accordance! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommylane Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I also would like to see Ellen White's writings in Accordance. I am happy to see that Accordance now has the Andrews Study Bible. Had I known it was coming out on Accordance, eventually, I wouldn't have bought the Logos version last year. I would also like to see the SDA Bible Commentary which Logos happens to have, also.

Randy Steffens Jr Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 The person you need guys to speak with about getting EGW on Accordance would be Darryl Thompson with the White Estate. Write to him: thompsond at whiteestate dot org. (Sorry for spelling it out but that helps avoid spambots harvesting the address.) The more requests White Estate gets, the sooner it may happen.

Helen Brown Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 We are already in contact with SDA users who can negotiate for this text, but thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ares2601 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hi ! I would like to combine Ellen White's writings with the Bible. I have them in my tools, but I can't combine them. Can somebody help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 You can combine only Bible texts with Bible, and Commentaries of the same series together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Richards Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Is any progress being made on getting EGW Writings and SDA commentary for Accordance? That would be so awesome! I am curious if there is any headway being able to be made on this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommylane Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I would love to see EGW writings and SDA Bible Commentaries and other SDA writings in accordance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 We are working hard to get licenses and etexts for more SDA texts. It isn't easy! There is a bias against Accordance in certain quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Steffens Jr Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 That's terrible to hear. If there's someone we can write to politely voice our interest in getting Accordance supported, please let us know. Thanks, Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ιακοβ Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Given the "EGW Estate" have their own software (http://www.whiteestate.org/cdrom/cdrom.asp) I wonder if they wish to avoid competing with their own product (Especially if publishing through logos had some impact on that product). I also can't help but wonder if there would be some King James Onlyism amongst those who manage the estate, which may create a negative attitude towards accordance? In my experience there is certainly inconsistency in SDA on the ground theology, I only wonder this, as I have encountered staunch KJV onlyism, which sometimes relaxed into an acceptance of NKJV. But I have also encountered SDA's who are more than comfortable with modern translations. Does anyone else know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Steffens Jr Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I would guess that's not a sticking point... most SDA's I know are happy with any translation. The main issues (as I understand from emails with the vice director of the white estate and their digital product manager) are costs for getting the raw texts into a format that accordance can handle. White Estate is small, minimally funded, and minimally manned. Getting projects like this done takes manpower and money. Licensing arrangements are always complicated. Additionally, the volume of material is simply enormous. We're talking more than 100,000 pages (!). I wonder how long it would take accordance to tag such a huge amount of text, and how expensive the resulting module would be... Randy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ιακοβ Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 This is true. But ultimately, wouldn't it be true that if the goal is that the material is to be preserved into the longer term future. It is going to need to get into an electronic format that can be easily transformed into not just the currently available forms of media (Accordance, Kindle, etc..), but also to those that will come along in the future that we don't yet know about. Perhaps the general conference needs to vote on a specially funded once off project that would allow moving everything onto a digital medium?
