BRI and Women’s Ordination
The issue of women’s
ordination to the pastoral ministry has been with the Seventh-day Adventist
Church for many decades. With the new developments this quinquennium, BRI members
were asked to participate in various committees. Some wrote papers; a few
addressed the topic publicly. In each case, BRI members shared their personal
opinions on the issue of women’s ordination to ministry. As of now the BRI as
an entity of the Church has not taken an official position on the issue. It has
neither opposed nor endorsed women’s ordination. The ultimate decision remains
with the worldwide Church.
