A School for Parish Workers and
Church Secretaries
 In the late 1940’s steps were begun
through the Boards of Deaconess Work and Education and the Women’s
Missionary Society of the United Lutheran Church in America, to begin
additional training opportunities for lay women.
The curriculum prepared women for
Christian education, parish work, including secretaries and positions in
health and welfare. The women would not hold a church office as
deaconesses had, but would be defined as a full-time church worker with
a board, agency, institution or congregation of the church. |
