Vote seeks to support women as church leaders within framework of policy
The Executive Committee of the Seventh-day Adventist Church's Trans-European Division (TED) last week approved a motion granting administrative unions permission to manage the matter of parity between ordained and commissioned ministers within existing policy and previously voted guidelines.
The move follows a decision by the denomination's worldwide Executive Committee to decline a request from the North American Division to allow commissioned ministers to serve as presidents of local administrative conferences.
