Ordaining of Homosexuals

Luedtke’s column was right on target. However, her arguments “for greater tolerance, the fundamental beliefs of love and brotherhood” should include the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church’s position on women in the church. After a lifetime of hearing sermons on the “inclusive” nature of Christianity in the Lutheran Church, I’m still waiting for the power structure to actually practice it. I’d like to rephrase Luedtke’s question: And how long will it take for the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church to accept practicing homosexuals and women among its clergy?
