Our Mission
The Lord’s Day Alliance of the United States exists to encourage Christians
to reclaim the Sabbath–the Lord's Day–as a day of spiritual and
personal renewal, enabling them to impact their communities with the Gospel.
Our History
The Lord's Day Alliance of the United States (LDA) was founded in 1888. That
year representatives of six major Protestant denominations met in Washington,
D.C. to organize the American Sabbath Union; this name was later changed
to The Lord's Day Alliance of the United States. The LDA has been the one
national organization whose sole purpose is to maintain and cultivate the
first day of the week as a time for rest, worship, Christian education and
spiritual renewal.
Over its life, the LDA has worked toward the goal of preserving and protecting worker's rights to time away from work responsibilities to worship and honor the Lord.
Today, The Lord's Day Alliance stands on the edge of a great opportunity to proclaim the message of the Sabbath, a message of spiritual renewal and personal well being, in this fast-paced 24/7, 21st century American culture.
Our Leadership
The LDA is led by a Board of Managers comprised of clergy and laity from Christian
churches and includes persons from Baptist, Catholic, Episcopalian, Friends,
Lutheran, Methodist, Non-Denominationalist, Orthodox, Presbyterian, and Reformed
traditions.
Brian W. Hanse, a CPA and attorney from Wayne, New Jersey, and a third generation member of the Board, is the current President.
Co-directors Tim Norton and Rodney Petersen provide staff guidance to the LDA.
