The emergence of the Mission Diocese as an independent Lutheran church was essentially led by the decision of the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church not to ordain men who opposed the ordination of women as priests. The topic is once again topical after the Church of Ingria ordained priests who opposed the ordination of women to the mission organizations of the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church. “The idea that there could be two mutually exclusive views of office within the same church and that these should be able to coexist in harmony seems quite utopian.” This is what Pastor Esko Murto, who is a guest of Studio Krypta, says. How is the position opposing the ordination of women justified and how is the role of women in the church seen on a more general level - these questions are considered by Pastor Esko Murto of the Mission Diocese from Tampere and interviewer Ida Heikkilä. Studio Krypta’s activities are part of the media work of the Mission Diocese and the Finnish Luther Foundation.
