Women's Ordination: Does It Matter?

Where do we go from here?
Our Adventist pioneers disagreed over such issues as the Trinity or the King of the North. Today Adventists
debate the age of the earth and the ordination of women. But always our approach toward resolving differences should include one vital element: Fairness.
In those early days, our pioneers heard each other out. They presented their views in Bible study sessions.
They would never have been satisfied with hearing only one side of an issue. And they earnestly prayed for the Holy Spirit to unify them in their understanding of Scripture.
