Abstract
- The article focuses on the aspect of including women in ministry in Sweden, which was disapproved by the Lutheran church and resulted to the withdrawal of several women. It says that on the Church Meeting of the state Lutheran church of Sweden in October 1957, the proposal to allow the ordination of women was rejected after losing several votes based on a Biblical context. Moreover, it notes that 75 women, led by Esther Lutteman, had declared themselves nonmembers of the church due to the issue.
