Rebellion in Europe

[Gregory Matthews]

The General Conference is facing a rebellion in Europe, to an extent I will suggest, that has never before been seen.

SUGGESTED LETTER OF APPEAL TO YOUR UNION CONFERENCE PRESIDENT AND/OR GENERAL CONFERENCE OFFICERS:

 

Dear Brother … 

 

In regard to Proposal 113-18G (revised 07-17-18) of the “Unity Oversight Committee”, we would like to voice our concern that the General Conference is increasingly developing centralistic power and control structures that we vehemently oppose in other contexts (for example in the Catholic church). If this proposal passes and is implemented, it has the potential to divide the Adventist church to a degree never seen before. We are furthermore convinced that the issue of ordaining women cannot be solved in this manner. For these reasons, we reject this proposal.

 

We would like to ask you to present this petition to the Executive Committee of the General Conference and furthermore, do everything possible to ensure that the General Conference does not resolve controversial issues as the proposal aims to – solely through exercise of power - but rather by finding convincing and differentiated solutions, thus avoiding a possible division of our church.

 

Data protection rule: We, the undersigned, agree to the forwarding of this list as an expression of our opinions to the leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. We forbid the use of the data on this list for any other kind of processing or any other purpose.

 

The undersigned are members of the _______________________________ Adventist Church.

I'm glad someone is speaking out.
