dc.descriptionThis report was assigned to the Conference of Presidents in the 1981 synod convention. The goal was to produce a pamphlet that would present Scripture's teachings in readily understood language.en_US

dc.description.abstractThis doctrinal tract, prepared by a WELS-appointed committee following the 1981 synodical resolution, explores the biblical principles governing the roles of men and women in marriage, church, and society. Using a narrative style, the document traces the headship-helper relationship from creation through the fall into sin and into redeemed Christian life. It affirms that male headship was established before the fall and remains valid, though now expressed through submission and authority due to sin’s effects. The paper applies these principles specifically to marriage and the public ministry of the church, emphasizing mutual love, humility, and service. It cautions against extending these principles into societal roles without clear scriptural warrant, allowing for conscientious Christian judgment. The tract encourages believers to joyfully embrace God’s design and to spur one another on to love and good deeds, recognizing that both men and women are equally redeemed and gifted for service in God’s kingdom. —Abstract generated by Microsoft Copilot (GPT-4)
