AboutPastor Don Carpenter Expertise I believe that every word of the Bible is God-Breathed. This blessed book is the foundation of truth for faith and practice. If you ask this volunteer a question you will receive an answer from the Bible that is based upon a litteral, normal interpretation, taking into account the grammar and culture of the time. If you are interested in a Biblical understanding of SDA theology, I believe that I can help you.
Experience I have been in the ministry 20+ years. I am an avid student of the scriptures, and of theology. During the past 6 years I have spent much of my efforts studying SDA doctrines.
Question First Iam a baptized SDA.Ilove the Lord and the body of christ so much.I'm called and gifted to minister,and lecture in God's word to all.How do I get the qualification and approval from such a male dominated order? How can I be or request to be ordained?We move so slow concerning the things of God.At 56 one can only pray
the church will see what God has shown.
Answer Hi Sherrie,
Thank you for your question. I am very sorry about my very late response. When I pastored a church in Walla Walla Washington, I observed several young women attending Walla Walla College training for the ministry. I must confess that I do not know the official stand of women in the SDA ministry, I can say that I knew several who were training and serving in that large college. I am sorry that I cannot be of any more help.
