Thank you WS for sharing an especially relevant Sister White letter written at the very time Union Conferences were created in the Seventh-day Adventist church.

There is no way of knowing what Sister White would have to say about a process that has given rise to the document to be discussed by Annual Council on Tuesday.  

Would she consider it a blasphemous claim that the church working policy is 'God's highest authority on earth'?  Would she consider it blasphemy to use forced agreement with a list of Fundamental Beliefs as a baptismal or as a continuing membership test for Seventh-day Adventists?

What if blasphemy and all of the other deadly sins have already been made existentially irrelevant by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ?   What if no one's eternal life can be put at risk by the actions or inactions of a church, it's leaders or of you and me?  

Believing this would neutralize this document's rationale.  And is denying this the ultimate blasphemy?
