The interim appointment will be filled until September 15-19 this year, when the TPUM Session will be held. 

A decisive vote was taken in regards to ordination at last year's General Conference Session. Yet many questions remain.

General Conference and division leaders re-affirmed the important role of women in the life of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and appealed to all church entities to respect a recent General Conference Session decision on ordination.

The South Pacific Division has released an official statement regarding the July 8, 2015, vote to not allow each division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church to decide whether to ordain women to the gospel ministry in its territory.

South Pacific Division delegates met to affirm women in ministry and to pray for them on the last Friday morning of the General Conference session in San Antonio.

Delegates turned down a motion that would have allowed each division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church to decide for itself whether to ordain women to the gospel ministry in its territory.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church as early as next July may decide to take a historic vote on whether to allow women to be ordained ministers.
