First the Lutheran church puts a woman in the position of Bishop, now they nominated an openly gay Pastor for the position of Bishop.
"'After careful consultation, we have nominated two experienced provosts as candidates who have excelled in their localities and in the region in a variety of ways,' said election committee member Bishop Maria Jepsen, the world's first woman Lutheran bishop."
Is it any wonder that when a woman gets authority in the church body, they destroy that church? The Bible is very specific regarding the role of women.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 "Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church."
1 Timothy 2:11-14 "Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression."

It's funny how they claim that they have been successful in their previous positions...how so?! Both of them clearly violate Biblical principals. Why not get an alcoholic or a criminal? Leviticus 20:13 says it is an abomination for a man to lie with another man. That's directly violating scripture whether it be the Old or New Testament. If a priest is willing to compromise the Bible for themselves, it wouldn't be that hard for them to do it for others and start putting their own twist on what the Bible teaches.
