SDA Issues - Upper Columbia Conference REBELLION

....and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly

 joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment....

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which

cause divisions and offences

contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned;

 and avoid them.

1 Corinthians 1:10/Romans 16:17

"In an attempt to elevate women ministers in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, many administrative territories have created workaround solutions to the problem of the General Conference's refusal to ordain women at the denomination's highest levels. One increasingly-common solution is to make women's credentialing functionally equal to men's credentialing by allowing commissioned ministers the same rights and privileges as ordained ministers.

The trend toward separate-but-equal-credentialing has created a situation in which male and female ministers may perform the same tasks and receive the same pay and benefits while remaining in distinct, gender-divided ecclesiastical categories. Within Adventism worldwide, ordination remains the highest ecclesiastical designation, and with a few notable exceptions, it continues to apply only to men. Some territories within the Seventh-day Adventist Church have been reluctant to extend even commissioning to women pastors though commissioning women has been a voted General Conference policy for many years.
Yesterday (Tuesday, March 29), the Executive Committee of the Upper Columbia Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (UCC), which encompasses Eastern Washington, North Idaho, and Northeastern Oregon, voted a policy to clarify the role of commissioned ministers who serve within the conference. UCC leadership clarified that going forward, commissioned ministerial credentials in the conference confer the same responsibilities and privileges as ordained ministerial credentials do, the key difference being that men may be ordained in UCC and women may not."

Actually.....it's NOT A "Problem" on the GC's part....the PROBLEM is the REBELLION in the hearts of leaders to go against the BIBLICAL position, voted upheld by the worldwide Church in 2015, of male ordination.
In all honesty---every member in leadership in the Executive Committee of the Upper Columbia Conference should be FIRED. How long will the mixt multitude get to run the show?
