Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted December 4, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2019 Female Pastors Needed in Scandinavia In Scandinavia the church is totally dependent upon employing female pastors, as there are not enough men who are willing, or possibly do not feel that they have the gift of pastoring. This is a matter of being able to do the mission that is the task given to the church, plus the credibility of the church in our context. In the Adventist Church we have had female pastors for decades. Elder Neal Wilson said this at the 1990 GC Session concerning female pastors in the US: “… there were both men and women who were equally prepared, equally trained, and equally endorsed by the church, and given equal responsibilities in carrying out ministerial functions. But the men, who carried a ministerial license, could perform certain functions that the women, who did not carry a ministerial license, could not, even though they had equal training and background” (GC Session 11.7.1990 2 pm). https://spectrummagazine.org/views/2019/principles-proceedings-compliance-and-conscience Quote Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
