Active and Retired Women Ministers While Tammy enjoys preaching and teaching, she also finds satisfaction in encouraging, equipping, and empowering others for their paths of service. She offers a healing ministry to people with damaged emotions, broken spiritually and physically. Pastor Losey appreciates deeply the contributions of women and men who have sacrificed to open doors for male and female pastors to serve side by side in clergy roles. Neall, Beatrice Short Though Beatrice Neall took a modified theology major, she saw no way open to enter the ministry other than the route which she followed, which was to marry a minister. She and her minister husband served in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Singapore. Beatrice taught Bible to nurses, conducted ministerial training in Vietnam, and from 1971 to 1974 was a Bible teacher at Southeast Asia Union College. On furloughs she completed MA and PhD degrees in religious education at Andrews University while taking the opportunity to enroll in many seminary courses. Dr. Neall’s book, The Prince and the Rebel, alludes to a struggle in Cambodia while portraying the Great Controversy story; it has been translated into 12 languages, and an estimated 50,000 copies were distributed to Cambodian refugees in camps.

She was honored as a Woman of the Year by the Association of Adventist Women in 2003 with the Spiritual Leadership Award.

Beginning in 1989 Pastor Osborn became able to baptize candidates she prepared, including her daughter. In the 3,000-member Sligo congregation in Takoma Park, Maryland, Norma thoroughly enjoyed her ministry and felt supported and encouraged. Nevertheless, she sometimes wished there were more women in similar positions so that when she encountered disillusionment along with the joys, she would have understanding listeners; and when an idea worked especially well, she could share it. We are glad that during the 15 years since Norma expressed that wish and this book was first published, many more women have been called into the Adventist ministry. After helping with a church plant in Hoboken, N.J., Norma moved to Community Praise Center SDA Church in Alexandria, VA. In this dynamic African-American 123
