"Sandy Roberts' presidential nomination to Southeastern California Conference passed, 72 percent to 28 percent. Just prior to the voting process, Pacific Union Conference President Ricardo Graham
said General Conference President Ted Wilson called him at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and asked him to pass on a statement to the delegates, which read, an election of a woman to conference president would not be recognized by the world church, and to elect a woman would be in direct confrontation with the world church.
There was an audible murmur of disapproval after Graham read the statement from GC President Wilson.
Fritz Guy was chair of the committee who nominated Roberts. He published a book disparaging a literal interpretation of the Genesis account of creation. He is currently a research professor in the religion department at La Sierra University, and was on the podium representing the nominating committee in their choice of Ms. Roberts.
After the next comment, a motion was made to end discussion. A two-thirds vote was needed and the motion passed.
The results of the vote flashed on the screen and the congregation rose to its feet with loud applause." ADvindicate
1) Why do these people choose to bring the ways of the world into the Church? Why do they insist on having the spiritual bend to the temporal rather than the temporal bend to the spiritual?
2) And is that pic of the event inside a Church? Since when is shouting, clapping and hollering of this nature EVER appropriate within a holy sanctuary?
To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:22-24
