Because there is so much on here about the royal commission I thought it would be helpful to put up the video of the original announcement of the commission by prime minister Gillard. It was not to be as it doesn't seem to work but it can be accessed on youtube. Barry

Ruby,
I admit we are a bunch of the descendants of criminals from England but we have advanced to a modern society.
I believe the elders are getting a dose of the same medicine they give out to the people under their care in the congregation because in this royal commission they are treated better than the people under them that have suffered as victims

SDA church general conference has voted NO on womens ordination and now there is a big fight
by barry inlast wednesday the question was put 'can unions ordain women as ministers in the sda church?
the vote was defeated yes 41.35 to no 58.45.. the dutch churches responded quickly saying they won't be changing there policy and will continue to ordain women.. the north american division and the two conferences in california have women pastors that are already ordained.. the sda pastors in china are mostly women.. the internet is running hot with opinions one way or the other.
here is how millennials feel about there church at this point most are studying at an sda university.

Steve2,
The argument with the WO people would be that Paul was man of his time. Remember slavery was allowed in the new testament and slaves were instructed to obey their masters. Cultural norms are different today.
