Not sure I agree with this "Progressive SDAs" label. What you have are people in the NAD who realize what the Bible truly says about women in positions of leadership. And because it's being pointed out to the "Traditonal SDAs", sotospeak, they're the ones kicking against the goads; they've been in their comfort zone too long and don't want their zone borders expanded/enlarged/changed. Scared people put up a fight, even when there's absolutely nothing to fight against.
