General Conference Resources on Ordination

January 17, 2013

The General Conference-commissioned Theology of Ordination Study Committee has begun its work in preparation for a report to the October 2014 Annual Council in Silver Spring, Md. It is tasked with answering two important questions:

  • What is the theology of ordination from a biblical perspective?
  • What should the implications of this theology be for Seventh-day Adventist practices, including the question of women’s ordination?

The General Conference office of archives, statistics and research is hosting online resources for those who wish to be appraised of former actions, current process and other important research documents. These resources include links to the Ellen G. White Estate’s online documents regarding her ministerial credentials, select papers from the 1973 Mohaven Committee report, and a list of formal actions from General Conference sessions and committees.

The Gleaner is a gathering place with news and inspiration for Seventh-day Adventist members and friends throughout the northwestern United States. It is an important communication channel for the North Pacific Union Conference — the regional church support headquarters for Adventist ministry throughout Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. The original printed Gleaner was first published in 1906, and has since expanded to a full magazine with a monthly circulation of more than 40,000. Through its extended online and social media presence, the Gleaner also provides valuable content and connections for interested individuals around the world.
