Dealing With Doctrinal Issues in the Church - Proposal for Ground Rules

The purpose of this paper is to suggest some ground rules for dealing with a potentially divisive theological issue, such as the theology of ordination. It includes the history of doctrinal controversy at the beginning of the Christian Church and at the inception of the Adventist movement. The real purpose is to learn from the first Church disciples and from our Adventist pioneers in order to prevent a potential of dividing the church.
