Are LDA deaconesses automatically rostered?
The Lutheran Deaconess Association consecrates and approves deaconesses for service. Some LDA deaconesses complete additional requirements to become rostered in the ELCA, LCMS, and Lutheran church bodies in Canada. Applicants who are considering candidacy in a Lutheran church body may wish to talk to the LDA to coordinate the education/ formation process with other requirements. Visit your church body’s website to find out about other programs.
