White, Ellen Gould

White, Ellen Gould
(1827–1915)
   Sect Founder.
   White was born Ellen Gould in Maine, in the United States of America, of a Methodist family. In the 1840s they joined William miller’s new Adventist sect. At the age of nineteen she married Elder James White and she herself became a prominent Adventist leader. She and her husband moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, which became the new Church’s headquarters. She was a prolific writer and a charismatic personality and, with Miller, she must be regarded as a founder of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Members live a strictly temperate life; alcohol and tobacco are forbidden and they pay tithes on their income. The Sabbath is celebrated on Saturday rather than Sunday and they practise baptism by total immersion. The movement has spread around the world.
