I hope this message finds you well. I've been pondering a question that has lingered in my mind recently. It has come to my attention that certain members of our congregation hold the conviction that consuming processed grape juice as wine during Passover might not align with our beliefs. I seek your guidance regarding the true Passover wine. Considering our emphasis on promoting a health-conscious message, is it acceptable to use processed grape juice? This query arises due to the General Conference guideline advocating the use of Welch's grape juice. I am eager to ensure our practices align harmoniously with the Gospel of Christ. Your insight on which form of wine aligns best with our beliefs would be immensely appreciated. Thank you for your time and guidance.

I've been following your teachings on the issue of Women Ordination for many years now. Thank you for your Spirit-filled messages on this important topic. I am in total agreement with you; the current practice of many churches to ordain women in the role/office of pastor/elder is clearly not biblical. But I have a question. On page 13 of your 3rd Quarter 2015 newsletter titled, "Reflections on San Antonio," you stated the following: "The fundamental problem is that the decision to approve the ordination of women elders was never voted on by the world church." I am in agreement here, because as far as I can tell from my studies and research the GC had not done so up until 2015 and they did not approve it at the 2015 GC Session. So, my question is this: Since the 2015 GC Session has this changed? Has the world church now voted to give local churches, conferences, unions, or divisions the option to allow women to serve as elders in their churches? I think not because I have not seen such a statement in the 20th Edition of the Seventh-day Adventist Church Manual that was published in 2022. Did I miss something? Did I miss a policy change by the world church?
