Alisa,  Exactly right.  Since when does being elected to an Adventist Organization leadership job make a man (or a woman) a "ruler."  I understood that in Christ those given responsibilities were servants of all in their area.  Woman as I observe are very good at helping and serving others.  I'd think that alone would make them prime candidates for a leadership servant role in the Seventh-day Adventist church as Christ intended it to be run?
