Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson’s faith has been a point of discussion in recent weeks, as outlets have delved deeply into the core beliefs of his Seventh-day Adventist denomination.
Amid the ongoing discussion, Carson has revealed that there’s at least one key issue on which he disagrees with church officials: the ordination of women.
“I don’t see any reason why women can’t be ordained,” Carson told the Associated Press in a recent interview.
This is notable, considering that the the denomination voted 1,381 to 977 to preclude regional bodies from ordaining female pastors this past July at its 60th General Conference Session, as Religion News Service reported at the time.
