Conradi's Rise to Leadership

Later we see Conradi safely back in Germany preaching in Hamburg where he established at 41 Sophienstrasse the headquarters for the developing German church.EGWE 287.4

He steadily advanced in leadership. In 1891 all of Germany and Russia were detached from the Central European Conference and placed under his direction.EGWE 287.5

Conradi always labored with zeal and energy. In 1901 the General European Conference was created, and he became its first chairman and in 1903 a General Conference vice-president. He remained head of the work in Europe (later as president of the European Division) until 1922. (See SDA Encyclopedia, pp. 302., 303.)EGWE 287.6

The hardy German leader was an able writer with a number of books to his credit, notable among which was his own revision and enlargement of J. N. Andrews’ History of the Sabbath.EGWE 287.7
