Pastor Rhoda, who serves in Vancouver, British Columbia, shares her path to becoming a female pastor in the Canadian Adventist Church, from her background in education to her calling into ministry. She explores the significance of representation in leadership, the distinction between ordination and commissioning, the power of inclusive language in worship, and the importance of reexamining biblical translations that have historically diminished the roles of women. The conversation highlights the tension between tradition and progress, and suggests practical steps for fostering a more inclusive church community.
