Atlantic Union Conference Statement on Women in Ministry

May 14, 2012

At its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting on May 10, 2012, the Atlantic Union Conference Executive Committee voted the following statement regarding women in ministry.

ATLANTIC UNION CONFERENCE
STATEMENT ON WOMEN IN MINISTRY

Recognizing the current discussions and the value of women in ministry within the North American Division, the Atlantic Union Conference Executive Committee voted the following statement:

WHEREAS the Atlantic Union Conference and its member conferences and organizations have benefitted from the faithful service and commitment of women in ministry, including evangelistic, pastoral, educational and other roles at all levels of the church and school system, and

WHEREAS the Atlantic Union Conference recognizes itself as a part of the Seventh-day Adventist church, and will act in harmony with its decisions taken during the General Conference in business session, it is therefore

RESOLVED, that the Atlantic Union Conference, in harmony with the scriptural mandates of the priesthood of all believers, is committed to supporting, empowering and celebrating women in ministry.

###

In a subsequent action, after the above statement was adopted, the executive committee voted to have a proposal brought back at a future meeting that would involve ways in which church members and employees may be educated and become more informed about the role of women in leadership ministry in the church.
