How sad Gilbert Valentine distorts and revises Adventist history to suit his/your/the current political agenda advocating WO.  At least my2centz identified the right genre: fantasy.  Notice though, no woman ever held the honorific title "Elder" which is the only title of consequence in Adventist ecclesiology.  "The rise of Fundamentalist Christianity in the 1920s"  is a statement totally detached from reality, let alone Adventist history.  Sad is right!
