"help Adventists understand the beliefs and cultures of other world religions and equip them with means, approaches, methods, and models on how best witness to people of non-Christian affiliations"

See "Elofer in Lithuania"

His advice to Christians includes changing Christian wording to sound more Jewish and avoiding certain words like "cross" (see point 3.6):
