- W2961291244 abstract "Joyce Borgman de Velder listened intently. The General Synod of the Reformed Church in America had convened in Holland, Michigan. On Wednesday morning, June 13, 1979 a debate began which would decide whether she could be ordained to the office of minister of the Word. De Velder's request to her classis for ordination the previous June had led to a year long controversy in the The major issue was whether the Book of Church Order permits or does not permit the ordination of women. The problem centered around the meaning of the word as it is used in the Book of Church Order.The Book of Church Order defines ministers of the Word as persons who have been inducted into that office by ordination in accordance with the Word of God and the order established by the church. Most Reformed Church members had always interpreted persons, in that context, to mean only men. Consequently to ordain a woman without an amendment to the Book of Church Order was illegal and a violation of the authority of the government of the Many advocated the ordination of women as ministers of the Word, but to ordain women before the Book of Church Order was amended was unacceptable to them. However, there were those who were convinced that should be interpreted to include women and men and that an amendment to the Book of Church Order was not necessary." @default.
