Today our Conference President showed us pictures from this ministerial counsel from where this report came.

The Sabbath sermon was given by Pastor Whintley Phipps. Other speakers were Arthur Stele and Lowell Cooper, Vice Presidents of the GC, Mark Finley, and others.
Nice to know, but what concrete aspect does it have to do with this thread?

Just to help give a total picture of this TEC conference with 1,200 pastors and spouses, where the president openly makes known his personal conviction that the ordination of women is fully in accord with the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, but that he will wait for the GC to give its approval. It is also made clear that all of the union presidents within this division are in agreement that the ordination of women is in harmony with Scripture.

How do you know that ALL the Union Presidents are in agreement that the ordination of women is in harmony with Scripture?

From the report of the president that has already been posted here. You will see that one union president was somewhat hesitant, and yet in agreement. . .

Are you referring to your very first post in the creation of this thread?  If so, I can't find where that is stated there.

It must be posted in another topic. But here it is in his report:

Of all the 11 unions today in the TED, only one union president stated that his union would not at present ordain women as pastors, even if it was permitted, but he had no objection to this being done in other unions.

I don't see him saying that he is in agreement or that he thinks it is biblical. He just isn't objecting to it being done elsewhere.

But most importantly, the TED is on record that they will wait, and I think that is the only proper position to have at this time.
