Ellen White used the word "pastor" 120 times in her writings, therefore, it was a well known word back then.

While looking at the word "pastor" I stumbled across this quote:

Women to Be Qualified to Occupy Any Position.--The Lord designs that the school [Avondale] should also be a place where a training may be gained in women's work--cooking, housework, dressmaking, bookkeeping, correct reading, and pronunciation. They are to be qualified to take any post that may be offered--superintendents, Sabbath school teachers, Bible workers. They must be prepared to teach day schools for children.--Ev 475 (1898). {DG 86.3}

She lists a lot of positions, however, she doesn't list pastors or elders amongst that list, which I find interesting that she left those out of her list of positions in the above quote.

[Gregory]

Was that an exclusive list?   Then why did she say:  ". . . take any post that may be offered. . . ."

So the Lord indicated to Ellen White that "women's work" education should be provided for...interesting...

If the Lord designed for women and men to be equals in the work they were to do, why was this designated as "women's work"?

Yes, she used the word "pastor", but I have only seen her using that word as a title for an Adventist minister for one person. That was in Australia and nowhere else. She also wrote: “regarding the testimonies, nothing is ignored; nothing is cast aside; but time and place must be considered” (1 SM 57).

Yes, interesting.   Hmmmm.....
