Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted March 30, 2017 Moderators Posted March 30, 2017 Recently Adventist Today and Spectrum cooperated in conducting a survey on issues related to the role of women in ministry. For the results see: http://spectrummagazine.org/article/2017/03/30/adventist-survey-reveals-broad-support-ordination-female-pastors An interesting comment is: Perhaps one of the most surprising findings was the extent to which those with conservative religious orientations supported women in positions of ministry and favored women’s ordination. While no one would be surprised that a strong majority of self-described religious moderates and liberals supported women as pastors and the ordination of women, the degree to which conservative SDAs supported these positions was more revealing. For example, of those who identified as fundamentalist, over one-third (36.5%) favored having women as pastors in the Adventist church (no table provided for this section). For conservatives, almost two-thirds (65.2%) favored having women as pastors. Not surprisingly, 91.9% of moderates and 99.2% of liberals felt the same way. Quote Gregory
