1. There were Seventh-day Adventist women ministers before 1884. For example,
Sara A. Hallock Lindsey(see chaper 9) was licensed in 1872. However, the lists of
ministers available to the General Conference Archives from which to compile this list
begin with 1884. Previous ministers, men and women, must be researched individually.
2. The terminology used in the early official lists was “Ministers” for those who carried
ordained ministers’ credentials and “Licentiates” for those who had been issued ministerial
licenses; later the corresponding categories in the Yearbooks became “Ordained Ministers”
and “Licensed Ministers.” The latter headings are used in these lists to indicate the categories under which the women ministers’ names appeared.
