William Miller, the theologicain from whose ideas the 7th Day Adventist Church sprang, was an active Freemason until 1831. Miller resigned his Masonic membership in 1831, stating that he did so to "avoid fellowship with any practice that may be incompatible with the word of God among masons".[1] By 1833 he wrote in a letter to his friends to treat Freemasonry "as they would any other evil".[2]
