Keene Texas Adventists Reflect Quiet Faith and Community
In Keene Texas a 1,600 strong Seventh day Adventist town rests Sunday as a work day, observes Sabbath on Saturday, and routes life around a beefed up campus, post office, and local college. Postmaster Ruth Hestand notes Sunday service, while the town’s merchant avoids tobacco. Adventists trace roots to 1894 and 1890s post office era with a pacific, sociable rhythm.
