What Is the Confession and Theological Outlook of The Augustana Ministerium?
For a thorough answer to this question, read The Augustana Ministerium’s Constitution and Bylaws, and its Statement on the Holy Ministry. In brief, The Augustana Ministerium requires of her members a quia (not quatenus) subscription to the entire Book of Concord. For this reason, The Augustana Ministerium also holds to the inspiration and inerrancy of the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, which reqiures us also to hold to an exclusively male pastoral office in the Church. The Augustana Ministerium also promotes the use of the historical liturgical orders of the Church, which were received by the Lutheran confessors, as indicated in the Book of Concord.
