008: Franklin E. Belden: The Adventist Hymn Writer Who Walked Away

When we talk about Adventist hymn writers, one name is almost impossible to ignore: Franklin E. Belden. If you grew up Adventist, you have probably sung his hymns without realizing it. His words and tunes are woven deeply into our hymnody. He was gifted, prolific, practical, and remarkably tuned in to what congregations could sing. But here is where the story becomes uncomfortable. Franklin Belden was not only one of the most important hymn writers in early Seventh-day Adventism. He was also a man who eventually separated himself from the church, resisted Ellen White’s counsel, became deeply embittered, and, according to those who visited him near the end of his life, died without being reconciled to the faith he had once served through song.
