NALC will ordain women.
If it weren’t for the insistence on women’s ordination, all the conservative/confessional Lutherans in the ELCA and LCMC would join LCMS, the Orthodox Church, or the Roman Catholic Church.

NALC will ordain women.ELCA, LCMC, and probably NALC, celebrate open communion. LCMS & WELS celebrate close/closed communion.If it werent for the insistence on womens ordination, all the conservative/confessional Lutherans in the ELCA and LCMC would join LCMS, the Orthodox Church, or the Roman Catholic Church.
