Lutherans in Africa seminar on Woman Pastors Report

We previously announced a seminar held by Lutherans in Africa.

Lutherans in Africa will be hosting a seminar in Zambia the 28-30th of August on the topic of Women Pastors. Currently they do NOT ordain when but are being pressured to do so. Crown of Life Lutheran Church has graciously donated enough copies of the CPH book ?Women Pastors?? for each of the pastors and evangelists of LECA, the Lutheran Evangelical Church of Africa. One of the great things about Africa is they have a high view of scripture. One of the difficulties is the lack of resources to respond to heresies and the twisting of the scriptures as is done by false teachers as they are led by the Father of Lies. Please pray for our study together and consider sponsoring this or a future conference.

Pastor May posted an intro and pictures on facebook.

The Lutheran Evangelical Church in Africa (LECA), a Lutheran Church in Zambia has really been pressured by LWF and their affiliates to ordain women. The bishop asked me if we could sponsor a seminar and study this topic from God?s Word before the church body makes any decision at their next convention. Please keep this seminar and church in your prayers that they may be led by God?s Word rather than the doctrines of men.

Here are several of the pictures:

After the brainstorming session, each participant received a copy of the book, Women Pastors?. These were a gracious gift from Crown of Life Lutheran Church in San Antonio, TX. Additionally, as the Lutheran Church was started by Congolese refugees who were fleeing the dictator Mboutou, French catechisms were freely distributed to them. This is a wonderful gift from Luther Foundation Finland.

Rev. Dr. Anssi Simojoki frequently took us to God's Word. I am a bit saddened that the majority only have the "Good News" interpretation of the Bible. It is not a translation.

Although I brought Lutheran Worship hymnals for all the seminary students, the rest of the church does not have hymnals and therefore we used Golden Bells as our song book. Maybe there is a church out there who could send a few cartons of Lutheran Worship to the brothers and sisters in Zambia.

Rev. Ari Lukkarinen explained the context of Galatians 3:25-29 which teaches that we are all saved by faith. Salvation does not depend on sex or race. But this is not a text that is teaching about ordination so we should not twist it to insist it does. The devil loves to twist scripture.
