  • Rethinking Singleness in the Church

    Rethinking Singleness in the Church
    Mar 5 2026
    Ezrica Bennett [author of the recent hit article, “Thirty, Single, and Feeling (Pluri)Potent”] hosts a wide-ranging conversation on singleness, church culture, purity messaging, and what it means to build a meaningful life outside the “marriage as finish line” narrative. Joined by Natalie Bruzon, Trudy J. Morgan-Cole, and Ella Quijada, the group talks candidly about the pressure cooker of Adventist dating culture, the ways purity culture can distort intimacy and consent, and how women’s friendships and broader community can offer deep, sustaining love. Across generations and life stages, they wrestle with grief, freedom, and the ongoing work of “doing something while you wait”—not as waiting for a spouse, but as living fully in the present, with agency and spiritual depth. Ezrica Bennett graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biology from Oakwood University. She has worked as a book editor for the Loma Linda University School of Medicine and has written for the Adventist Review and the Southeastern California Conference. She is a writer, public speaker, and coach, passionate about working with young adults to help them navigate life and faith, and a youth elder at the Loma Linda University Church. Natalie Bruzon is a web producer for SPECTRUM, editor of SPECTRUM'S short news section, The Current, and the managing editor of the SPECTRUM journal. Her writing explores religion, politics, and life inside (and just outside) Adventism. Trudy Morgan-Cole is a writer of historical fiction from St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. She is the author of several works of historical fiction set in Newfoundland, as well as several novels re-imagining Bible stories, including Esther: A Story of Courage, and James, the Brother of Jesus. In 2025, Trudy retired after a forty-year career in education and is now, finally, a full-time writer. Ella Quijada is a Campus Connect Columnist for Spectrum. She is studying psychology at Southern Adventist University with pre-medical emphasis and triple Spanish, chemistry, and biology minor.

    President of Antillean Adventist University Edwin Hernández talks about the new $5 million grant the school received to tell its Christian educational mission, how it connects to the stories of Puerto Rico, and its post-hurricane diaspora in Florida.
