The ELCA Conference of Bishops is engaged in a yearlong study on “the
ministry of Word and Sacrament – Ordained and Authorized Lay Ministry in
the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.” These four papers were
prepared for the October 2003 meeting of the Conference of Bishops as
resources to the bishops in their reflection and discussion. This first
set of papers is on the meaning and function of call and ordination
in the life of this church from the perspective of the theologians’
academic disciplines – Scripture, Confessions, Liturgy and Mission.
