But the Central Kerala Diocese (the author's own diocese) has not yet ordained women.  In this study the author argues that there are biblical bases for the equality of men and women and theological bases for the ordination of women.  God created male and female in God's own image and they are made to be equal partners in caring for the creation as God's representatives (Gen 1:26-27).  Jesus Christ, who treated women and men as equals, stands independent of culture in relation to women.  Woman is heir to the same salvation with man: together they are joint heirs of the grace of life (1 Peter 3:7).  In the early church women exercised roles and functions which were later associated with priestly ministry.  The author argues that there are practical reasons for ordaining women in the Central Kerala Diocese of the Church of South India. In this diocese the full-time women workers, Sisters of the Church, and pastors' wives are doing pastoral work.  The diocese whole-heartedly accepts their work.  Therefore, the argument is women should be included in ordained ministry."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["d722638c-a7e2-43f3-93ff-4762bde0dde7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791133289269952512,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:16:55.237Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T00:01:51Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:18:44Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"35f27ea9-7123-4fb2-a32a-0e22ba563092","accessControl_ssim":["0c1704bb-1f16-4fe1-b45b-d068b6c3ae93"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Holy communion extended into the home as a means for reconciliation and renewal"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T00:01:50Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T23:41:26Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["8e8eb6b9-2e73-4fac-a778-e3820389bb64"],"hasLease_ssim":["0b4465df-9b73-47cf-8f36-d88a1583c250"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago"],"advisor_tesim":["Mark P Bangert"],"year_tesim":["1988"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Paul H Dorn"],"publisher_tesim":["Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago"],"subject_tesim":["Church work with families","Family life education--Religious aspects--Christianity","Liturgics","Reconciliation","Lord's Supper"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["This project suggests that Holy Communion can be used as a means for reconciliation and renewal within Christian families by extending Holy Communion, which the family celebrates with the congregation, into the home.

This project documents the need for an intentional process of integration.  The author contends that a change occurs both in the new member and the congregation, and the congregation must be sensitive to those changes.  He proposes a model for integration and a tool for evaluation to help the maturing congregation remain sensitive.  He incorporates insights from a case study, biblical and confessional images of the church, and the experience of Protestant American Christianity."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["d722638c-a7e2-43f3-93ff-4762bde0dde7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791133613091192832,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:22:04.056Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T00:00:55Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:26:38Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"d3da0a73-a362-4fbe-b8bc-272cc3ec8654","accessControl_ssim":["fdf43b73-3c00-4e5d-913f-3b589b6b38af"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Strategies for the mission of the church: observations of a missionary returned"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T00:00:55Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T04:11:04Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["25241d04-16be-4083-a136-3cb71ae8e92f"],"hasLease_ssim":["e56f4d49-d8ce-448c-8ad9-11f84d21d4f0"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago"],"advisor_tesim":["James A Scherer"],"year_tesim":["1988"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Arno H Meyer"],"publisher_tesim":["Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago"],"subject_tesim":["Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod","Missionaries","Mission of the church","Missions","Church development, New"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["The author served as a missionary to Taiwan for the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod from 1964 to 1973.
