We recognize that allowing ordained/commissioned ministers to serve as presidents would be an unprecedented step toward achieving gender equality within the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and we celebrate and affirm this important step.
We urge NAD leaders at the 2011 Year End Meeting to re-confirm policy that allows ordained/commissioned ministers to serve as conference presidents.

The church leadership is waiting for us to lose momentum so they can ignore the 2009 and 2010 votes entirely. We need to hit this next milestone immediately to force them to address our demand for equality. Post this to your social media accounts right now.

Its time to stop holding people back. Let them lead if they are qualified. Enough is enough.
SO RIDICULOUS that this is even a debate in this day and age. let them serve!
Really hope the NAD does the right thing here. It has been way too long.
Keep the focus on the mission not on blocking people because of politics. God calls who He calls.
The church needs to move past this. We have great people doing great work and we should be supporting them 100%.
