NAD Study Process

The North American Division, in response to the request at the 2010 General Conference Session in Atlanta, established a biblical research committee to study the biblical theology of ordination and its implications for church practices.

The NAD biblical research committee members prepared a report to be presented in November 2013 at year-end meetings. Upon reviewing the study, the NAD will recommend it to the Biblical Research Institute director for consideration by the General Conference Theology of Ordination Study Committee.
