Adventist Ordination Crisis

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

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

Why should the Seventh-day Adventist Church resist pressure to eliminate role distinctions between men and women?

Because our women haven't been ordained, has our church undervalued their work and treated them unfairly?

What is Ellen White's relationship to this issue? Was she ever ordained?

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

What does Paul's instruction in 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 on head coverings mean for us today?

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?

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

Why does Paul say, “I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men” in the church (1 Timothy 2:12)? Is it because women in his day were uneducated?

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?

Did Adam “rule over” Eve before the Fall?

Wasn't Eve's subordination to Adam in Genesis 3:16 a part of the curse, which Christ came to take away?

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