A Study of the Orders of Ministry in the ELCIC

In March, 2015, the National Church Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada asked the Faith, Order and Doctrine Committee to work on the topic of Orders of Ministry. This study guide is the result of that request. In the preface to the guide, Bishop Susan Johnson writes “I urge all members of our church to take the time to read and reflect on this study material.”
