January Extra Ordinem
Abstract: Jen Nagel's ordination set for January 19, 2008 in Minneapolis. Bishop Craig Johnson to attend but not participate.
Jen Nagel will be ordained to the ministry of Word and Sacrament and installed as pastor of Salem English Lutheran Church in Minneapolis on January 19. Rostered leaders are requested to vest in red and arrive no later than 1:30. Details here.
Jen has served as "pastoral minister" at Salem for four and a half years, and the congregation voted on November 11 to call her as pastor.
Precluded from the ELCA roster by a discriminatory policy, Jen is rostered with Extraordinary Lultheran Ministries (ELM).
According to the congregation's newsletter, Jen and other representatives of the congregation have been in conversation with Minneapolis Area Synod Bishop Craig Johnson who has said he will attend the ordination, but feels he cannot participate in an ordination extra ordinem.
