The 60th General Conference Session  of the Seventh-day Adventist Church

met last month in San Antonio, Texas.  The SDA church considers the

general conference session its highest authority. Approximately 2500

delegates were appointed to the session, representing the church around

the world.  During the 10 days of the session, they conducted an array

of business, including electing dozens of officers and administrators,

making changes to the Church Manual, modifying the church’s fundamental

beliefs, and deciding whether or not to permit various areas of the

world church to choose whether or not to ordain women as ministers.  The

panel will provide insights into not only the decisions made but the

processes that led to them.

Adventist Forum is open to the public.  All are welcome.  For
