Adventist Ordination Crisis

Are altered versions of Ellen White’s writings being circulated to make it seem she supported women’s ordination?

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

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

Didn't Mrs. White encourage women to participate in the work of the church?

Isn’t defending gender roles from Scripture just like defending slavery from Scripture?

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

Does the New Testament distinguish between the office of elder and that of pastor?

Is it true that Paul's argument about the priority of Adam's creation (“For Adam was formed first, then Eve,” 1 Timothy 2:13) is faulty because it is based on the wrong Creation account (Genesis 2 instead of Genesis 1) and because it attaches significance to the fact that man was created before woma

Does the Bible clearly teach that a church elder should be a man and not a woman?

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

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?

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?
