Unlike in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, Adventist women can become valid Adventist pastors. That&#8217;s because Adventism does not possess, or claim to possess, a valid priesthood as understood by Catholics and Orthodox. Their male pastors are the equivalent of Catholic lay readers, who can be men or women. Obviously they do more than read &#8211; they have theological training, pastoral training, and they can teach Adventism and Ellenism. Catholic men and women can do all those things too (except for the teaching Adventism\/Ellenism bit &#8211; Catholics will teach Christianity). Adventists are only now realising that their women can do as much as Catholic women have done for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f5e7f3\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-size:24px\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>News and commentary on Catholicism:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/2020\/02\/27\/pope-francis-to-global-catholic-climate-movement-be-greener\/\"><strong>Pope Francis to Global Catholic Climate Movement: Be greener!<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; <em>Rome Reports<\/em><br>\u201c<em>They&#8217;re all Amazonian seeds, from Amazonian trees.
