Strange that you say that. I was asked today by a member what I would do if the LCMS ordained women, and I gave the same answer as you. Back in the 90’s I did graduate work in England, and my doctoral adviser was a well known feminist advocate. This is about the time that the Anglican community ordained its first female priest. What these churches that ordain women fail to understand is that a woman priestess or minister radically changes the way that God is understood. This is why we come up with hymns that refer to God as Mother and Womb. My adviser eventually left Christianity and is involved in Eco-Feminism.

Which proved she was more interested in promoting herself as a woman than she was in God.
This isnt about the Priesthood, It is about their feminist views.
