#ordination #womeninministry #femalepastors Welcome back to Advent Next, a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussions. This week we open up a riveting discussion with Pastor Danielle Pilgrim on female pastors and we get to hear her story on why she rejected her commission. So let’s start with little background information, what does it mean to be commissioned? In this specific denomination, there was a vote back in 2015 by the General Conference worldwide church that stated women in pastoral ministries would not be allowed to be “ordained” like their male counterparts. This distinction came from the underlying fundamental belief that pastoral positions in their official capacity are set aside by God for men and not women. This ordination confers some extra “authority” within the church structure such as the ability to baptize in a way that is recognized as “valid” by the institution. I have a separate podcast on the history of ordination for those who want to learn more about this, but essentially, when a woman becomes a pastor she is not ordained by the church, rather she is commissioned. This is a title that essentially says, we recognize the work you are doing, but we believe the authority associated with ordination such as baptism, should be reserved for your male counterparts alone. They alone have the blessing of God in this position. I have a previous podcast that gets into this type of thinking in more detail, but this a very simplified summary of the differences between ordination and commission so you can understand what a commission is and why a woman would choose to reject it. I’d love to hear your thoughts on today’s topic, so take a close listen and let me know. Before we get started I just want to thank the Adventist Learning Community for making this program possible.

#womenshistorymonth #womeninthebible #proverbs31woman In celebration of women’s history month, Advent Next is exploring women in the Bible and presenting an alternative view that elevates the value of women. We often think social establishments like patriarchy are an inherent moral value in the Bible, but this is not true. In fact, patriarchy might actually be the result of sin, not a part of God’s original plan. So this week, we make a case for God the feminist! We look at stories like Deborah in the Bible, Hagar, Esther, Lydia, Phoebe, and all the things that make women a proverbs 31 woman in ways she often doesn’t get credit for!

#blackhistorymonth #blacktheology #blacktheodicy Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussion. This week we are discussing Black Theodicy with Ingram London, a PhD student studying Black Theology, but more particularly Black theodicy, which answers the question of where is God in the midst of Black suffering? The question of theodicy tries to hold together three truths: God is omnipotent, evil exists in the world, and God is loving. How can God be both loving and all-powerful and yet allow horrendous evil to exist? While we by no means have an absolute answer to this question, Ingram will be sharing with us today, pieces of his study and how these three truths can be held together in tension.
