Adventist Women Clergy: Their Call And Experiences: Part 2, Leslie Bumgardner
Adventist Women Clergy: Their Call And Experiences: Part 2, Leslie Bumgardner
Journal of Applied Christian Leadership
This article describes “what happened” to the female pastors whose ministry experiences were reported in the previous JACL issue. Today, only one remains in pastoral ministry. Others are experiencing their “call” in new situations or are retired. They describe challenges related to gender as well as supports. Ordination did not dominate the interviews although the women were clearly disappointed by the vote against ordination of women in pastoral ministry at the General Conference session of the Seventh-day Adventist church in July 2015.
