FALL PASTORS CONFERENCE

Picture
​Order in the House (and Church)
Lutherans often use the theological concept of the “order of creation” to talk about relationships between men and women in the church and in the Christian home. Is this concept biblical? Is it Lutheran? We will talk about the biblical and historical background to this sometimes controversial topic, how Missouri Synod Lutherans have understood and applied it, and how it might help us better understand both the pastoral office and our opposition to women’s ordination, among other controversial contemporary topics regarding marriage and sexuality.
