September ‘Witness’ addresses women and the Church

The September issue of The Lutheran Witness covers some of the big subjects surrounding women and the Church.

Answering questions like “Should women be drafted?” and “Why doesn’t the LCMS ordain women?,” this issue explains how the Church has a distinct understanding of the gifts and roles given to women.

Other articles outline what a deaconess is, little-known women in the Early Church who — still today — serve as examples of great faith, why the home is a special and safe place for women to show mercy and care, and how the story of Rosa Young is having a big impact.
