Dear Teresa,

As the authority of Sister White makes unmistakably clear, the IBMTE process cannot be pursued without thorough renunciation of the Spirit which animated her ministry. I join Maury and Jean and Wonil in urging the church managers who are driving this process to submit to the authority of Sister White and to the Spirit who inspired her.

Dear Teresa,

I agree that the IBMTE resembles and institutional tradition that is wholly out of harmony with the historic foundations of the Seventh‐day Adventist Church. For this reason, and for reasons of Maury’s statement and those I have added below, I do not wish to be a part of its endorsement process.

“In the work of the Lord for these last days there should be no Jerusalem centers, no kingly power. And the work in the different countries is not to be bound by contracts to the work centering in Battle Creek, for this is not God's plan. Brethren are to counsel together, for we are just as much under the control of God in one part of His vineyard as in another. Brethren are to be one in heart and soul, even as Christ and the Father are one. Teach this, practice this, that we may be one with Christ in God, all working to build up one another. {PM 130.1}

“The kingly power formerly revealed in the General Conference at Battle Creek is not to be perpetuated. The publishing institution is not to be a kingdom of itself. It is essential that the principles that govern in General Conference affairs should be maintained in the management of the publishing work and the sanitarium work. One is not to think that the branch of the work with which he is connected is of vastly more importance than other branches.”--8T 232, 233. {PM 130.2}

The man who magnifies his own office in working in any line to bind about the conscience of another, be he president of the General Conference, president of a small conference, or the elder or deacon or lay member of a church, he is out of God’s line...God desires that men shall stand in their own individual responsibility, and while they are consecrated to Him there will be unity in their diversity, as branches of the true Vine.—Manuscript 66, 1898, 5, 6.

Hello Teresa,

My response will be to post this quote from E. G. White, Manuscript Releases Volume Seventeen, "Every Person Has God-Given Talents Which Should Bear Fruit; Church Leaders Not to Exercise Absolute Control Over Others," page 196-201

"...To handle men as if they were machinery, binding their freedom by methods and terms, is an offense which God will not tolerate...Some have been very ready to pronounce judgment upon the work of their fellow men, because it did not exactly represent their ideas. But has God pronounced them infallible? The spirit they have manifested in pronouncing judgment upon God's messengers shows their fallibility and their ignorance, both of the Scriptures and of the power of God. These men [and woman] are counterworking the work of God. They have felt at liberty to make decisions and laws which would bring talent under their jurisdiction. They have placed themselves in the judgment seat, to control their fellow men. But has God appointed them to do this work? He would say of them, "What doest thou here? Who sent you on this journey? Who gave you this errand to perform? Who made you a critic and judge on matters of doctrine? Who appointed you to pick and to choose the words and expressions which My servants shall use?"

Scrap the whole project.

Grace and peace,

Dear ASRS Members,

Please be reminded that all comments and suggestions regarding the proposed revision of the International Board of Ministerial and Theological Education (IBMTE) Handbook need to be submitted by July 5. As you will recall, this handbook has been in the process of revision for the past year, and in April the IBMTE committee reviewed and accepted the attached draft. The draft is also available for public comment at www.adventistaccreditingassociation.org. If you have any concerns or suggestions, this is the time to speak up. Please send your comments to me, and I will see that they are posted for viewing by the IBMTE committee and revision taskforce. The current plan is that the final draft of the IBMTE Handbook revision will be brought to the Annual Council this fall for a vote.

On another note, one other quick request. If you did not receive the ASRS call for papers this winter/spring, please let me know. A couple of people have reported that they did not receive it and we would like to determine how widespread the problem is.

Thanks and Blessings,

Teresa Reeve

For this reason, and for reasons of Maury’s statement and those I have added below, I do not wish to be a part of its endorsement process. “In the work of the Lord for these last days there should be no Jerusalem centers, no kingly power. And the work in the different countries is not to be bound by contracts to the work centering in Battle Creek, for this is not God's plan. Brethren are to counsel together, for we are just as much under the control of God in one part of His vineyard as in another. Brethren are to be one in heart and soul, even as Christ and the Father are one. Teach this, practice this, that we may be one with Christ in God, all working to build up one another. {PM 130.1} “The kingly power formerly revealed in the General Conference at Battle Creek is not to be perpetuated. The publishing institution is not to be a kingdom of itself. It is essential that the principles that govern in General Conference affairs should be maintained in the management of the publishing work and the sanitarium work. One is not to think that

the branch of the work with which he is connected is of vastly more importance than other branches.”--8T 232, 233. {PM 130.2} The man who magnifies his own office in working in any line to bind about the conscience of another, be he president of the General Conference, president of a small conference, or the elder or deacon or lay member of a church, he is out of God’s line...God desires that men shall stand in their own individual responsibility, and while they are consecrated to Him there will be unity in their diversity, as branches of the true Vine.—Manuscript 66, 1898, 5, 6.

Dear ASRS Members, Please be reminded that all comments and suggestions regarding the proposed revision of the International Board of Ministerial and Theological Education (IBMTE) Handbook need to be submitted by July 5. As you will recall, this handbook has been in the process of revision for the past year, and in April the IBMTE committee reviewed and accepted the attached draft. The draft is also available for public comment at www.adventistaccreditingassociation.org. If you have any concerns or suggestions, this is the time to speak up. Please send your comments to me, and I will see that they are posted for viewing by the IBMTE committee and revision taskforce. The current plan is that the final draft of the IBMTE Handbook revision will be brought to the Annual Council this fall for a vote. On another note, one other quick request. If you did not receive the ASRS call for papers this winter/spring, please let me know. A couple of people have reported that they did not receive it and we would like to determine how widespread the problem is. Thanks and Blessings, Teresa Reeve _______________________ Teresa L.

Subject: RE: IBMTE Handbook Feedback Due July 5

I do not think Maury and others mean to scrap the essential work of the IBMTE. I think the concern is about the “endorsement” system. Am I correct on that?

I think we are fairly unanimous in our understanding that a certification process is harmful. In fact, I find it hard to understand how it has remained this far in the new process. However, I do want to speak in favor of IBMTE processes in other areas. Since I was a Dean and part of IBMTE for several years, I know there are good aspects to the committee. Without an IBMTE committee which has a majority membership of theological educators, our field would not be properly represented in the educational decisions of the church. It needs to be! The IBMTE process can be helpful in global coordination for excelling in theological education. It also is an official place for voicing our concerns (including the current one!) and having an influence and vote. It also allows us to hear the needs of the church that we serve, while assisting the church in understanding the theological education issues. So my vote is to keep the IBMTE! We just need to make sure it doesn’t become an oversight committee rather than a collaboration committee. These last 15 years have seen IBMTE keep away from the former; let us make sure it can function strongly in order to keep it that way.

As you will recall, this handbook has been in the process of revision for the past year, and in April the IBMTE committee reviewed and accepted the attached draft. The draft is also available for public comment at www.adventistaccreditingassociation.org. If you have any concerns or suggestions, this is the time to speak up. Please send your comments to me, and I will see that they are posted for viewing by the IBMTE committee and revision taskforce. The current plan is that the final draft of the IBMTE Handbook revision will be brought to the Annual Council this fall for a vote. On another note, one other quick request. If you did not receive the ASRS call for papers this winter/spring, please let me know. A couple of people have reported that they did not receive it and we would like to determine how widespreadthe problem is. Thanks and Blessings,

Teresa, The plan and process of the document to me seem appropriate and the document is well written. There seem to be a few who feel strongly that the document is out of harmony with Mrs. White’s councils. I do not see that. The leading committee members and several others whom I know are dedicated to the Lord and strong believers in the inspiration of Mrs. White. Thanks for sharing it. Jim North

Dear ASRS Members, Please be reminded that all comments and suggestions regarding the proposed revision of the International Board of Ministerial and Theological Education (IBMTE) Handbook need to be submitted by July 5. As you will recall, this handbook has been in the process of revision for the past year, and in April the IBMTE committee reviewed and accepted the attached draft. The draft is also available for public comment at www.adventistaccreditingassociation.org. If you have any concerns or suggestions, this is the time to speak up. Please send your comments to me, and I will see that they are posted for viewing by the IBMTE committee and revision taskforce. The current plan is that the final draft of the IBMTE Handbook revision will be brought to the Annual Council this fall for a vote. On another note, one other quick request. If you did not receive the ASRS call for papers this winter/spring, please let me know. A couple of people have reported that they did not receive it and we would like to determine how widespread the problem is. Thanks and Blessings,

As you will recall, this handbook has been in the process of revision for the past year, and in April the IBMTE committee reviewed and accepted the attached draft. The draft is also available for public comment at www.adventistaccreditingassociation.org. If you have any concerns or suggestions, this is the time to speak up. Please send your comments to me, and I will see that they are posted for viewing by the IBMTE committee and revision taskforce. The current plan is that the final draft of the IBMTE Handbook revision will be brought to the Annual Council this fall for a vote. On another note, one other quick request. If you did not receive the ASRS call for papers this winter/spring, please let me know. A couple of people have reported that they did not receive it and we would like to determine how widespread the problem is. Thanks and Blessings,

Dear Lester, I have read your email to Teresa. While you are not directly responding to the statement sent out by my colleague Maury Jackson and the thread it generated yesterday (June 30), the timing of your email has a potential for creating a misunderstanding, albeit that is not your intention, I am sure. Maury's email does not call for the abolition of IBMTE. It says "scrap the whole project" in reference to the "endorsement" ("certificate" in your email?) issue. I added my signature with this understanding. I just talked to Maury, and he confirmed that my reading is correct. IBMTE's continuing existence and its other functions are a separate question for me, on which I wish to make no comment at this point. I, of course, respect your opinion expressed in the email. And, again, I recognize that you are not necessarily responding to Maury, me, and others in that particular thread but to Teresa, and that you yourself are separating the "certificate" issue from the other IBMTE functions. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to write this email for clarification, given the timing of yours. Cheers, Wonil On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 8:40 AM, Merklin, Jr., Lester <merklinl@gc.adventist.org> wrote:

Teresa,

I wasn’t planning to respond to your email since I and all of the Seminary Faculty here have talked to you about our concerns. I think we are fairly unanimous in our understanding that a certification process is harmful. In fact, I find it hard to understand how it has remained this far in the new process.

However, I do want to speak in favor of IBMTE processes in other areas. Since I was a Dean and part of IBMTE for several years, I know there are good aspects to the committee. Without an IBMTE committee which has a majority membership of theological educators, our field would not be properly represented in the educational decisions of the church. It needs to be! The IBMTE process can be helpful in global coordination for excelling in theological education. It also is an official place for voicing our concerns (including the current one!) and having an influence and vote. It also allows us to hear the needs of the church that we serve, while assisting the church in understanding the theological education issues.

So my vote is to keep the IBMTE! We just need to make sure it doesn’t become an oversight committee rather than a collaboration committee. These last 15 years have seen IBMTE keep away from the former; let us make sure it can function strongly in order to keep it that way.

Greetings Teresa, I too would like to express my support in general for the IBMTE while strongly objecting to the endorsement process. One reason for my objection is the GC voted prelude to the 28 fundamental beliefs which states that: “Seventh‐day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. These beliefs, as set forth here, constitute the church's understanding and expression of the teaching of Scripture. Revision of these statements may be expected at a General Conference session when the church is led by the Holy Spirit to a fuller understanding of Bible truth or finds better language in which to express the teachings of God's Holy Word.” I believe that SDA scholars should be involved in suggesting changes to the beliefs before such changes are voted at GC sessions. Signing a statement that treats the current beliefs as a creed seems to be a compromise of the legitimate function of SDA scholars to help the church improve its doctrinal statements. Also relevant are the principles modeled in the following statement by W. C. White concerning his collaboration with Ellen White in a similar situation. "Mother [Ellen White] and I killed it dead." W. C. White to Mary White, Nov. 3, 1888, Minneapolis, Minn. My Dear Mary: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . We have had a remarkable Conference, and there were certain influences that had to be met at every step. There is a great call for having everything brought into perfect harmony, but the steps necessary for harmony are often overlooked. There is almost a craze for orthodoxy, a resolution was introduced into the college

meeting, that no new doctrine be taught there till it had been adopted by the General Conf. Mother and I killed it dead, after a hard fight. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Your husband For these reasons and others, I object to the current proposal concerning the endorsement of SDA scholars. Yours in Christ, Martin Hanna, Seventh‐day Adventist Theological Seminary Andrews University

While you are not directly responding to the statement sent out by my colleague Maury Jackson and the thread it generated yesterday (June 30), the timing of your email has a potential for creating a misunderstanding, albeit that is not your intention, I am sure. Maury's email does not call for the abolition of IBMTE. It says "scrap the whole project" in reference to the "endorsement" ("certificate" in your email?) issue. I added my signature with this understanding. I just talked to Maury, and he confirmed that my reading is correct. IBMTE's continuing existence and its other functions are a separate question for me, on which I wish to make no comment at this point. I, of course, respect your opinion expressed in the email. And, again, I recognize that you are not necessarily responding to Maury, me, and others in that particular thread but to Teresa, and that you yourself are separating the "certificate" issue from the other IBMTE functions. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to write this email for clarification, given the timing of yours. Cheers, Wonil On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 8:40 AM, Merklin, Jr., Lester <merklinl@gc.adventist.org> wrote:
