Women are not allowed to be Pastors, From reasons being: God called men to be Pastors,
Men are the head of the House, Women were made in the image of man, Men were made in the image of God. now women can serve in the ministry,such as teachers and minstering servants.

I dont mean to be ignorant or bias towards The
Women... The Elca have become very Liberated towards issues of Homosexuality and Abortion.
Ive been in a Elca church, Its not like being in a Lcms,completely different services and pratice.
