Line 43:

Having left the Seventh-day Adventist church, Dudley and his family briefly considered joining the [[Methodist Church]], but finally settled upon the [[Baptist Church]]. On March 5, 1887, he, his wife and their daughter Veva (Genevieve) were accepted into the Otsego Baptist Church. On the 17th he was given a license to preach, and two days later, was ordained and made the Church's salaried pastor. In this position, he remained until 1889.

In September of 1890, Dudley and his family left Otsego, moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan. There, he became Pastor Emeritus of the Berean Baptist Church, an office he held for only a year. During his time as pastor of these churches, he had occupied himself in writing his 413-page critique, '''[[Seventh-day Adventism Renounced']]'', which was published in 1889, followed by '''[[The Life of Mrs. E.G. White']]'' in 1919. In 1915, he attended the funeral of Ellen G. White, during which he reportedly proclaimed, "There is a noble Christian woman gone!" Canright died in 1919.

==Criticism of Canright==

In 1933, the [[Review and Herald]] published ''[[In Defense of the Faith: A Reply To Canright]]''. Written by W.H. Branson, an Adventist minister, the book sought to correct Canright's distortions and misrepresentations of Adventist doctrine. In 1971, the church published '''[[I Was Canright's Secretary']]'', by [[Carrie Johnson]], a memoir of her work for D. M. Canright in the early 1900's. The Canright family disputed many of her recollections as outlined in the book.
