Loren,

Thank you for that exploration of how ethics and theology interact. We all know how easily they can get twisted into knots so it is helpful to take a fresh look at them. 

Early this week I attended my conferences Executive Committee meeting to make a presentation about a mission project and heard the concern in our President's remarks as he looked forward to these meetings. It sounds like Dan Jackson is remaining firmly committed to supporting ministry according to how the Holy Spirit guides and empowers people regardless of gender, so it sounds like he will be a strong bulwark against the waves of strife and division coming from the GC on the topic of the ordination of women. We need more strong leaders like him.
