Seems some people read their Bible with a bottle of white-out on the nightstand. :) The Rev.'s comments weren't the most impressive, either.
She's a little misinformed as well - the PCA does not ordain women either. Most conservative (ie Orthodox) denominations don't ordain women. I was really suprised at how weak the pastor's reply was, but there are 2 sides to every story.
That rev needs to think before he speaks. We do need to take things in context of scripture, but to call the fathers of the faith sexist is out right ignorant. Even they recongized the necessary role women of the faith played in the support of their ministries. Men and women need to stop worrying so much about trying to be the same and celebrate the differences that are innate in us. And it looks to me she isn't so much about helping the church, but making herself feel important.
I used to live in the Ohio District and have had some dealings with Rev. Bergen. He is the President of the Ohio District. His response to the ladies question was terrible assuming that she understood correctly. No wonder we have issues in the LCMS.

Pr. Chryst,
Perhaps it would be best for Brenda's pastor to take point on this one? I would commend you to call her pastor, your brother in office, if you know who he is.
Well,
According to a look at the LCMS congregation directory they are still vacant.
I don't know who is serving her congregation during this time, but I would think that the District President should at least be able to point her in the direction of some good resources to explain the issue... or...
Brenda, I am sure you will find any number of LCMS pastors around here who can answer your questions regarding what Scripture teaches on the ordination of women, if you choose to listen...
Brenda,
I appreciate your openness on the topic. An attitude of humility is always helpful when studying God's Word, especially with those topics we find difficult or even offensive.
Remember that the cross itself is a "stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to gentiles". So it shouldn't be a surprise that other teachings of the Bible don't seem quite right to us at first.
I will commend you to the wisdom of those who have already engaged in the discussion. Blessings.
