The only citation given is a (currently defunct) link to a video of the actual speech. If true, this needs better citation. Otherwise this appears to be POV, original research, etc. Please link to a newspaper or other source that brings out the connection between Ted Wilson and LGT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Databases ( talk • contribs) 19:58, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
The concept of Last Generation Theology described in this wiki article is incomprehensible to any non-SDA, and the reasons for any controversy on this topic between Adventists are unclear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ( talk) 02:07, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
There has been a bit of back and forth regarding the addition of a "controversies" section. I think the there should be such a section, because Wilson has been one of the more controversial G.C. presidents. However, the information needs to be presented in a manner which does not make value judgments. Spectrum is a great source, but it is decidedly in the "liberal" wing of the SDA viewpoints. Countermanding viewpoints from more centrist and "traditional" sources should also be sought. I'll bet those of us who are interested in this topic can work collaboratively to give a balanced, informative section regarding the issues which have caused considerable discussion within Adventism. Any takers? 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 20:40, 26 May 2016 (UTC) He has only been 'controversial' in contrived 'controversies' in the columns of Spectrum and other liberal magazines, you need to find real issues in mainline or true news sources.

The previous sentence seriously misstates the extent of controversy generated by Wilson's views and actions. In particular, many church administrators and theologians in North America, Europe and Australia have opposed his views on the ordination of women, on the role of Unions in church administration, on the literal interpretation of Genesis 1which Wilson has maintained is a "recent" creation, and to a lesser extent, his views on Last Generation Theology.
I am fascinated by the fixation of some on Wilson's international travels, especially his visits to Africa and with African politicians. He would do well to balance these by visits with Adventists and politicians in the developed world, especially those in North America. Despite his American heritage, Wilson does not understand, appreciate, or trust such people--as a former world Church vice president once told me. He is intimidated by critical scholarship and learning and thinks they are the greatest threats to the Church. He seems most comfortable in the Third World and with the ideas of the 19th century and the state of the Church in those days. For a recent reaction to Wilson by a loyal but insightful retired Adventist clergyman, see "Ted Wilson and the Scolding of Adventism." Wctrenchard ( talk) 21:05, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
