Adventist Ordination Crisis

Does Ellen White warn against seeking a role or “sphere” different from the one we're assigned by God?

What has been the experience of churches that have ordained women as priests or pastors?

What does the Bible teach regarding the role of women in the church?

Didn't Ellen White have a position of authority in the church?

Did Ellen White urge the church to ordain women?

But most of the people I know (many of them, anyway) are in favor of ordaining women as elders or even pastors. Shouldn't this count for something?

Why does Paul appeal to Adam's being created before Eve to justify his injunction that women should not be permitted “to teach or to have authority over men” (1 Timothy 2:12)? Is it arbitrary to assign leadership on the basis of priority of creation?

Why does Paul forbid women to teach as leaders of the congregation?

Is it true that if Paul's argument about the priority of Adam's creation is valid, then the animals should rule mankind because animals were made before Adam was?

Why not ordain women as local elders? Doing so wouldn't mean we would ordain women later as pastors, would it?

What are the implications of this for the issue of ordination of women to the headship positions in the church?

Can Joel 2:28 settle the issue for us of men and women filling the same spiritual roles?

Are “equality in being” and “subordination in function” contradictory terms?

What evidence is there for a “structure” in the relationship of the man and woman before the Fall?

Does Mrs. White say that Eve was Adam's equal before the Fall and that only after the Fall was Adam to be her ruler?
