Adventist Conference in Germany publishes declaration regarding ordination of women Hamburg/Germany | 10.12.2015 | International The executive board of the Hansa-Conference, a regional church leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the German federal states of Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has published a declaration that regrets the decision of the General Conference Session regarding the ordination of female Adventist pastors. The General Conference Session decided this summer in San Antonio, Texas/USA, that the global 13 Divisions of the Adventist Church are not allowed to ordain female pastors working in their territory. The Hansa-Conference encouraged in its letter female church members to opt for training and service as a pastor in spite of the decision of the General Conference Session.
