In 1973 two employees of the SDA Pacific Press filed a lawsuit against the Pacific Press which employed them. In short, the two women, Marikay McLeod (Silver) and Lorna Tobler, alleged that they were paid less, simply because they were female, than men who did equal jobs. The article linked below tell their story and sums the content of the book, Betrayal which has just been published on this event. This historical event deserves to be known by every Adventist today. https://spectrummagazine.org/culture/betrayal-of-gender-inequity-in-the-adventist-workplace-exposed-in-book/

In essence, at the point of belief, one recognizes that one may not have all of the evidence and therefore be willing to evaluate as one learns of new evidence. In relationship to the Bible, it is important to understand that one may not correctly understand what the Bible is actually teaching and therefore a change in understanding does not require a rejection of the Biblical teaching. I once thought that the Bible taught a time for the creation of the Earth (Solar system). Presently I believe that the Bible does not teach a time for a creation of the Earth. I do not believe that the Bible teaches that our Solar System was created at the same time as the rest of the Universe. But, I clearly believe that it teaches that God created all that exists in a manner that allows for new species coming to exist as well as old species ceasing to exist. Does this make me an evolutionist? Absolutely not.
