That does not change the fact, in my opinion, that the moral fall of the leader of this movement against females in ministry, leaves less support to his opinions, especially since so many other theologians and leaders in the Seventh-day Adventist Church disagree with him.
I think it unfair to call him the leader. Was he a delegate at the 1990 GC Session too? What percentage of theologians and leaders in the world church disagree with him? I have no idea, but your wording suggests that the majority of all Adventist theologians and leaders around the world disagree with him, and I would like to confirm that that is so if it is indeed so.
1) Judging from the publications, books and articles, and speakers available for any pulpit or mike, that I saw available for quite a while, it appeared to me that Sam Bacchiocchi was gradually succeeded by Samuel Koranteng-Pipim as the main proponent against the ordination of women, weather that had anything to do with speakers at a GC session or not. I actually have seen that elsewhere that SKP was regarded as
the man.
If they managed to train other leaders, or how things have happened since then, or if you regard other men or woman as greater spokespersons, I will have no disagreement with you on that, because that is a matter of personal evaluation.
2) Neither will I indulge in any head count. If my words indicated to you I was talking about any majority, I suppose that is my fault. I was referring to an existence, which, in my opinion, seems important.
By the way, to see books written by women which speak to the issue of women not working well with women, please see http://www.amazon.com/s/?field-keywords=tripping+the+prom+queen. It seems common that women think that women in particular have problems with rivalry, backstabbing, and the like. I read that opinion by women on one website, and then was told the very same thing by a woman who had not read that website.
Since you thrive on such references I can add to that that an advocate against female pastors once made the statement that all women are chicken-heads, whatever he meant with that expression. Then to me what you refer to is that some chicken-heads are merely documenting that they are all chicken-heads.
I do not subscribe to that theory. I know the man I quoted above had one of the most wonderful wives imaginable, and yet he gave her a terrible life directed by his headship theology.
Of course, you can likely find a woman somewhere that disagrees with these observations made by women. But this does seem to be a fairly common perception.
Have you made a count?
