Quote from Dan Jackson at year end meetings 2011.

[Stan]

“God did not call us to a ministry of alienation. God did not call you and me to push away on one another.

We are not to be called to alienate, to develop a class or gender, division or racial segregation, or “tofu separation” or “vegan distinction” or theological discrepancy - because you do not believe like I do [or] because you are not a part of my part of the community you are certainly on your road to perdition.

Read and listen to the word of God ...

You and I were called to a ministry of reconciliation not just with the world, but with one another.” – said Pastor Dan Jackson, NAD president, at the main worship service on October 29 at the 2011 NAD Year-end Meeting.

I like the thoughts on reconciliation. That is needed in the church.

I also wonder if he was referring to women's ordination with the gender remarks. Don't know, but I do know that the WO issue has become a strange sacred cow to many American SDA's. What is your take on that?

rejoice always,

I read that quote this evening on facebook, and as always, liked the way Pastor Dan Jackson talks.

Elder Jackson's comments are to vague! If he meant woman's ordination or even commissioned, he was completely unBiblical and his statements should be rejected wholesale.

But, I don't know what Elder Jackson actually meant, I figured you were truly more interested in what the Forum thought and believed.

Reconciliation with the world, and with one another. Sounds great. Wonder which would be easier - with the world, or with one another?
