Seventh Day Adventists Facing Pressure On Allowing Female Clergy

BY ADELLE M. BANKS RELIGION NEWS SERVICE, PUBLISHED: AUGUST 30 UPDATED: FRIDAY, AUGUST 31,12:07 PM

(RNS) Two U.S. regional groups of the Seventh-day Adventist Church have recently approved the ordination of women pastors, moving faster than the worldwide church's study of the issue.The Pacific Union Conference, which includes California and four other Western states, voted 79 percent to 21 percent at a special session on Aug. 19 to "approve ordinations to the gospel ministry without regard to gender." Weeks earlier, the Maryland-based Columbia Union Conference, which includes eight Mid-Atlantic states, adopted a similar change in its policy, with 80 percent in favor.

World leaders of the church - who appealed for unity before the votes were cast - said they were disappointed with the conferences' actions. They said the Columbia Union's July 29 action was "not in harmony" with the general policy of the church, and said the Pacific Union would "preempt the collective decisions of the world church regarding ordination."Leaders of the Maryland-based Seventh-day Adventist Church, which is best known for observing the Sabbath on Saturday instead of Sunday, are in the midst of studying the "theology of ordination" for possible consideration at their 2015 General Conference Session.There are about 320 women pastors in the worldwide Adventist Church. Within North America, there are about 120 WOMEN PASTORS and about 4,100 male pastors. Many Seventh-day Adventist women pastors hold a "commissioned" credential, which does not permit ordination, while most male pastors hold a "ministerial" credential, which does.In 1990, the General Conference Session, the highest authority of the global church, approved a recommendation that prevented authorization of ordination of women to the gospel ministry. Five years later, it rejected a request from its North American Division that its regional groups be permitted to authorize ordination regardless of gender.In an official response to the Pacific Union, Seventh-day Adventist Church President Ted N.C. Wilson and other officers cited those previous decisions and said world church leaders "will carefully review the situation and determine how to respond," possibly at an October meeting.Adventists are not the first group to face disparate action on women's ordination. In 1974, 11 women were "irregularly" ordained as priests in the Episcopal Church, two years before the national church voted to allow female priests and bishops.Pastor Andrea Trusty King, pastor of an Adventist congregation in Moreno Valley, Calif., was elated by the Pacific Union Conference decision."I see it as a move of God," said King, 34. "The church is recognizing what he has been doing for a long time."But King said everyone is not rejoicing, and she thinks the divide is more generational than geographical."You have older people who absolutely don't believe in this and young people who are saying, 'What' s the big deal?'" she said.Pastor Courtney Ray, who serves as an associate pastor at a church in Compton, Calif., called the Pacific Union decision "long overdue." She chose not to be "commissioned" and now looks forward to an ordination ceremony if an executive committee approves her for ordination.Ray said there was a tension between wanting to be sensitive to church leaders' desire for everyone to "move together on this issue" and the sense of others who felt it was a "bad witness" for there to be different designations for male and female clergy."But the bottom line is that if something is right, then there's never a time to wait to do the right thing," said Ray, 31.Pastor Stephen Bohr, an opponent of women's ordination who leads an Adventist church in Fresno, Calif., said the Bible calls for women to have different roles from men. By his reading, women can be prophets - such as church co-founder Ellen White - and deaconesses, but only men can be pastors."I just am disappointed that the Pacific Union would launch out on its own and not wait for the world church to make a determination," said Bohr, 62. "I think they jumped the gun."Garrett Caldwell, a spokesman for the world church, said there is "excitement" in many corners of the Seventh-day Adventist Church about the possibility of full recognition of women's ministry roles."There's an anticipation of that recognition, but I think the greatest concern is that as this body grows and matures and adapts that it is able to stay a united body," he said.Source.

Pastor Carl Trueman Concerns With Quiverfullpatriarchy

Posted by Christine Pack and Cathy Mathews

For anyone wanting to hear a balanced discussion about a movement within conservative Christianity known as the Quiverfull/Patriarchy movement, and the problems with it, please listen to the program entitled "Bully Pulpit" on Carl Trueman's Mortification of Spin radio show. The guest is Rachel Miller of The Aquila Report who recently wrote an article entitled The Soul-numbing Dangers of Patriarchy.

During the discussion, Trueman and Miller name the popular Duggar family as a "cleaned up" example of the Patriarchy movement. Many would say, but they are so wholesome and always look so happy! Here's one little Patriarchy insider tip: those within the movement MUST always look happy. An "unhappy countenance" is considered a sin against the father, and is an infraction that might cause that person to be disciplined or even shunned from their community. So Patriarchy adherents "might "look happy because they genuinely are, OR, they might be adhering to the "happy countenance" rule. I don't know about the Duggars, and I also don't think it's possible to gauge where they stand by watching a television show: perhaps they are genuinely happy and wholesome and loving, and perhaps there is truly a balanced and loving relationship between Michelle Duggar and her husband, Jim Bob. I sincerely hope that that is the case. But the Duggars notwithstanding, here are some potential abuses that can occur within Patriarchy, according to Trueman and Miller:

- THE HUSBAND CONSIDERING HIMSELF, AND ACTING AS, HIS WIFE'S HIGH PRIEST AND MEDIATOR- A "SANCTIFIED" FORM OF SPOUSAL ABUSE- WIFE SPANKING (YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT, AND YES, IT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. "WIFE SPANKING" IS ALSO KNOWN AS "CHRISTIAN DOMESTIC DISCIPLINE," AND IS SOMETHING THAT PASTOR TRUEMAN SAID WOULD CAUSE HIM TO INSTITUTE CHURCH DISCIPLINE IMMEDIATELY IF HE FOUND IT IN HIS CHURCH)- LITTLE TO NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE LEADERS OF PATRIARCHY, WHO HAVE SET UP THEIR OWN CULT-LIKE EMPIRESTRUEMAN AND MILLER ALSO NOTED THAT NOT EVERY QUIVERFULL/PATRIARCHY FAMILY WILL LOOK LIKE EVERY OTHER QUIVERFULL/PATRIARCHY FAMILY, AND THUS NOT ALL ADHERENTS TO THIS MOVEMENT WILL BE ABUSIVE, OR WILL HOLD TO EACH AND EVERY TENET. THUS, EACH FAMILY HAS TO BE EVALUATED ALMOST ON A CASE-BY-BASE BASIS. WE AGREE WITH THIS EVALUATION REGARDING THE POTENTIAL FOR ABUSE WITHIN QUIVERFULL/PATRIARCHY. WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT ABUSE ALWAYS manifests itself among Quiverfull adherents, nor do we believe that it is found within every Quiverfull family. However, we do strongly believe that the system lends itself to abusiveness.

Other Patriarchy leading figures:

- Bill Gothard (and the ATI/IBLP teachings, Gothard has now resigned due to charges of sexual inappropriateness) - Doug Phillips (the former president of Vision Forum, Phillips has now resigned due to a sexual abuse lawsuit brought against him by the former nanny to his children)In posting this program, please understand that we are NOT bashing big families. Nor are we saying that parents shouldn't have rules for their children. We are not saying that having rules in your family is legalism. We all must remember Romans 14 as we have this discussion. Any Christian who passes judgment on their sister for having a lot of children violates the "law" of love that Paul is pointing to. Anyone who passes judgement on a sister for not homeschooling her children violates the same law.

So again, we're not condemning anyone for their choices in non-essential areas, nor are we condemning men and women who perhaps grew up under more liberal teachings, and who became involved in this movement out of a genuine and sincere desire to lead their families (for the men) and biblically submit to their husbands (for the women). We're not condemning, not even a smidge. Cathy and I (Christine) both did a season of homeschooling with our children. Both of us submit to our husbands. It's not about that: it's about the extrabiblical laws that those within the Quiverfull movement add to their Christian walks. Quiverfulls also often refuse to have fellowship with others who choose NOT to add these things to their Christian walks. Now, how is that biblical among Christian brothers and sisters? I'm talking about such extrabiblical laws as these:

Jesus + Homeschooling = Righteousness

Jesus + Courtship Dating = Righteousness

Jesus + As Many Children As You Can Have = Righteousness

Jesus + Long Skirts = Righteousness

Jesus + Daughters Required To Live At Home Till Marriage = RighteousnessI'm sure I'm missing a few of the extrabiblical rules, but that's just off the top of my head. But we need to remember that Jesus condemned such extrabiblical law-making with the Pharisees, which means that we should also be on guard against such things in our own Christian walks. The Pharisees looked at God's Laws, and said, "Oh okay, Honor the Sabbath and keep it holy? That's a great Law. In fact, it's so great, we're gonna help God along here and add even more rules to the Sabbath in order to make sure everyone is honoring the Sabbath in the way WE think is best." These were extrabiblical laws (i.e., instructions not explicitly given from God), which are, by the way, expressly forbidden by God (Deut 4:2). And from there, the Pharisees springboarded into adding rules for the Sabbath about what a person could carry or not carry (heavier than *this* but lighter than *that*), about whether or not a man could shave, could get a bucket of water from a well, write something down, etc., etc. God gave the Sabbath to man to bless man (Mark 2:23-27) but in the hands of the legalistic Pharisees, the blessing became a curse. Well, isn't this exactly what the legalism in Quiverfull is about? You have to homeschool or you are sinning against God. You have to wear skirts *this* length. If your children don't find their spouses through courtship, they are sinning (and you are too, if as their parent you allow them to find spouses a different way). You are sinning if you go to the movie theater. You are sinning if you have a TV in your house. Etc. Etc. Etc.

We're not saying it's wrong or sinful for each Christian family to make personal choices in these areas that bless their families. What we're saying is, where something is not explicitly stated in Scripture, we need to tread very, very carefully, and make sure that we're not turning what is our blessing into another person's Law, which becomes bondage for them. Here's a very specific example. I have a friend who was told by some of her fellow Christians that it was a sin to send children to public school. My friend, however, had been divorced by her husband after he had an affair. She HAD to work. And neither could she afford private Christian schooling for her children. And thus, her children were in public school. By the time I met her, she had been in profound bondage for several years, thinking that she was sinning against God by having her kids in public school.

There needs to be more charity and grace amongst Christians in non-essential areas. We must not make our blessings into laws for others. And we also need to remember that there is no formula that works all the time, for all Christian families, as in, raise a child in *this* way and you will turn out a perfect Christian product. It doesn't work that way. I've known families who sent their children to Christian or even public schools that ended up with what seem to be Godly Christian children, and some homeschooling families that ended up with very rebellious children. Same thing with courtship. In fact, Joshua Harris, author of "Boy Meets Girl", which details the courtship method, has had to edit and re-release his book because two of the featured "courtship dating" couples in the book ended up divorcing. An inconvenient fact like that is certainly apt to take the wind out of the sails of those who think that creating and living in a lifestyle of systematized legalism is a safeguard against sin. After all, we know from the Apostle Paul that legalism does not have the capacity to restrain the flesh; indeed, it can only serve to it inflame it.

"ONCE I WAS ALIVE APART FROM THE LAW; BUT WHEN THE COMMANDMENT CAME, SIN SPRANG TO LIFE AND I DIED. I FOUND THAT THE VERY COMMANDMENT THAT WAS INTENDED TO BRING LIFE ACTUALLY BROUGHT DEATH. FOR SIN, SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY AFFORDED BY THE COMMANDMENT, DECEIVED ME, AND THROUGH THE COMMANDMENT PUT ME TO DEATH." (ROMANS 7:9-11)"In closing: please understand, again, that the purpose of this article is not to attack or mock or denigrate large families or wives submitting in marriage. It is to point out the extrabiblical rules associated with Quiverfull and Patriarchy. I (Christine) have personally counseled women who were involved with these movements who were in profound bondage because of the teachings associated with them, and I don't desire for anyone to become enslaved in a man-made system of works righteousness, and thereby miss the beauty and simplicity that is found in Christ. There truly is freedom and joy in Christ.

Pope Forgives Molested Children

VATICAN CITY-Calling forgiveness "one of the highest virtues taught to us by Jesus," Pope John Paul II issued a papal decree Monday absolving priest-molested children of all sin.Enlarge ImageThe Pope."Though grave and terrible sins have been committed, our Lord teaches us to turn the other cheek and forgive those who sin against us," said the pope, reading a prepared statement from a balcony overlooking St. Peters Square. "That is why, despite the terrible wrongs they have committed, the church must move on and forgive these children for their misdeeds."As Jesus said, Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," the pope continued. "We must send a clear message to these hundreds-perhaps thousands-of children whose sinful ways have tempted so many of the churchs servants into lustful violation of their holy vows of celibacy. The church forgives them for their transgressions and looks upon them not with intolerance, but compassion."The papal announcement arrives in response to public outcry over the sex scandal sweeping the Catholic church in the U.S. Though official church doctrine condemns such transgressions, the popes decision, observers say, is intended to demonstrate the churchs willingness to put the scandal behind it and restore the public trust.

Haunted Air

Unearthly Air is a striking and controlling new book of found photographs of the performance of Samhain and Hallowe'en collated by the performer, expert and composer Ossian Shade, who was a opinionated of length and is a co-founding opinionated of Cyclobe. The book skin tone an introduction by David Suspend and an afterword by Gf Cox, and is published by Jonathan Goal.

The roots of Hallowe'en lie in the ancient pre-Christian Celtic performance of Samhain, a public holiday to blackhead the death of the old court and the birth of the new. It was aimed that on this night the cloak disentanglement the worlds of the living and the dead grew thin and ruptured, allowing spirits to on view through and budge indiscernible but not unheard along with men. The emergence of Christianity saw the pagan performance subsumed in All Souls' Day, equally straddling Europe the dead were mourned and well-regarded. Adolescent and the midpoint, commonly wearing a veil or in exotic abrasion, wandered the night imploring soul cakes' in go over for prayers, and fires burned to emergency supply dripping venom phantoms at bay. From Europe, the shadowlike tradition would at once pull dive and flourish in the powerful demean of the New Foundation. Feeding impatiently on business-like lore, unbearable half-remembered tales of its own baffling birth and rituals, Hallowe'en was reborn in America. The pumpkin supplanted the imprinted turnip; costumes grew ever foreigner, and celebrants what's more countrified and built-up held gladly on the festival's persuasive, higgledy-piggledy spirit. For one profuse night, the dead stared into the faces of the living and the living, ghoulishly wearing a veil and clad in frayed wilds elaborate, stared back.

The photographs in Unearthly Air horses an prominent differentiate into the traditions of this creepy performance from ages external, and form an exalted document of photographic history. These are the pictures of the dead: inborn portraits, mementoes of the valued, now unrecognisable, other. Tattered from release pages, sold one at a time for pennies and circulated, gone to ancient rotate and the hands of strangers.

Genesis 28 17

Good morning, gang!

Today's verses describe the Garden of Eden, the environment in which man was placed, and the charge and the commandment that God gave to Adam in regards to this place.

As to the location and environment, we don't know the location of the Pishon and Haviah Rivers mentioned here, but we do know where the Tigris and Euphrates are: they meet and flow through Iraq. We know that the original environment had all the best possible food that man could eat and direct fellowship with God.

"Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil... The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die." (verses 8-9,15-17))

So God gave Adam a charge to care for this garden. It was a pleasurable job, because prior to the fall there would have been no thorns and thistles, so no weeding to do. We've already noted that it was self-watering! Jon Courson says that Adam would have gardened not just as a vocation, but for recreation. However, we see that God also gave him a specific command regarding the trees in the garden: he could eat from ANY of them, EXCEPT the one tree - the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which was right next to the tree of life. And don't we all know that the minute you tell someone they can't do something, it's the first thing they want to do ["Wet Paint - Do Not Touch"]? You might be asking, "Why did God set them up for failure, by putting these two trees, including the forbidden tree, smack dab in the middle of the garden?"

Well, God did not want a meaningless relationship with robots. He wanted man to CHOOSE to have a relationship with Him. This required that man would have free choice - and choice means that there actually has to be something from which to choose! He did not trick or tempt Adam - He was very specific in the warning about what the choice to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil would mean in consequences: he would DIE! It would result in immediate separation from God, spiritual death as well as eventual physical death.

Some wonder why it's so bad to know good and evil. It wasn't knowing right from wrong. Surely God wants us to know the difference, and has given us His Word to make these things clear to us. Instead, it was wanting a knowledge equal to God's (we'll see this next week in chapter 3), and it represented a defiance of God.

When God sets up such a command - "Do NOT..." it is NOT because He's the God of no fun! He isn't trying to DENY us anything - He is trying to protect us, because He loves us so. What kind of parent sets no parameters for his children? A rotten parent! As a teacher, I see daily the ramifications of allowing children to do whatever they want to do.

Where in your life are you resenting God's commands for you? What has He explicitly commanded you NOT to do (or DO) that you are resisting? It's not that we don't know what He expects of us. His Word is very clear on most issues we are facing. It's that we don't want anyone, including God, interfering with our own plans and pleasures! But God is asking us to get serious with Him. Choose to obey! The other choice leads to death - death of your marriage, death of your relationships with others, death of your relationship with God.

Choose life! Have a great morning!

Pagans In Prison

HELENE MOBIUS IS THE SLOW MINISTRY MANAGER:

For the previously 25 years the Pagan Alliance not later than the Slow Ministry has gained recognition with the Home Sphere and Reprisal Area of expertise in England and Wales as the governing corpse of the Ministry, within the jail system. The Pagan Alliance are the definitely corpse that can champion a Pagan Chaplain in the jail service, and bias of the Pagan Alliance is obligatory. Put on are now practically a few PFPM Chaplains that slip be equal with establishments, and practically a few outstanding lettering Ministers that assent via notice. Put on are even PFPM Chaplains and lettering ministers outlandish, all working to do their bit to school, command, and offer a feature to all community that would akin to know outstanding about "PAGANISM". It has been an in the air confrontation, a transfer marathon that has veteran the courage of every PF Ministry Gauge, it has not been easy and now the stab has been accepted to me, I marvel that I can do my predecessors morality in the capacity of PFPM Gauge.

To the rear the scenes Pagan Slow Chaplains offer a forum whereby community who chose to, can practice their encouragement in a "SECURED" personal history free from fixed idea and the wrong idea. They offer last and gain to community who are exploring their spirituality or community who concede found their path but would akin to learn outstanding. The British jail service, even now is in use by Christianity and these days Islam is not far at the back, but laws concede been accepted to make sure that every faction has the fully clad to concern glorification with a minister of their own encouragement. This includes Paganism which unofficially (AT THE THOROUGH) stands as one of the details getting higher religions in Invincible Britain, and the 7th officially recognised religion in this go ashore, formerly Hindu and Sikh.

I became complex in the PFPM while I realised that despite the fact that we concede taken substantial strides in quick recognition, the worry is, here are forever too few of us introduce spiritual last to community who can be unsettled and isolated. We are forever equally asked basic questions that unwrap that limit zip are forever not learned of what our encouragement is perfectly about. We can put out literature and books, but they do not exchange the travel over to travel over news item and notice that a Pagan Chaplain provides. It can be awkward and irritating, but the rewards are old hat while statistically, here are stronger outstanding concerned, Pagan groups in the prisons that concede Pagan Chaplains, than in the ones that do not.

Prisoners concede previous to been punished, and it is not our place to promote trendsetter the crimes they are internee for. We are here to last them and to make certain their fully clad to practice their religion is defended, that examination, tread, and questions are met in a precisely informative way. Priestly excess is forever event, so we forever concede a way to go to touch attitudes. Put on are forever prisons in areas of England that are not covered by a Pagan Chaplain so we are forever looking to conscription, and promote set up the mold of Pagan Chaplains in jail. Vacancies stimulus be overcome on paganfed.org.

The receive, viewing, multiplicity and suburb pass is sustained and obstinate, so acceptance and stamina are a pre necessity, but you stimulus also appeal a mature rule, good notice skills and recognition of the appeal to survey confidentiality. A knowledge of, and affair in your own Pagan Mythology is essential, notwithstanding an eclectic rage is perfect, as you appeal to be precise to teach inmates that may definitely be at the beginning of their separate jaunt of pronouncement. This job stimulus test the shot of your convictions and is not for the wobbly hearted, notwithstanding, the rewards are mammoth and fertile applicants can/will be rewarded.

If you are not put off by this clause and would akin to know outstanding as well as convince news item me at prisons@paganfed.org
