DEACONESSES BASICALLY ONLY EVER PERFORMED THESE DUTIES OF DEACONS WHICH WOMEN WOULD FIND OBJECTIONABLE FOR REASONS OF MODESTY FOR A MAN TO DO
TIME TO ANOINT THE SICK WITH OIL, BUT YOU CANT HAVE A STINKY MAN ENTER A LADYS BEDCHAMBER WHERE SHES THROWING UP INTO A POT AND POPPING BOILS ON HER FACE
YOU NEED A LADY DEACON FOR THAT TYPE OF SITUATION
IDK WHAT LCMS IS DOING WITH DEACONESSES BUT IF I HAD TO GUESS ITS NOTHING LIKE THAT, IN FACT IM GONNA GO ON A LIMB AND GUESS THAT WHAT ITS ABOUT IS JUST GIVING CHURCHLADIES CLOUT AND POWER

@King_Noticer @nugger Basically this.
The wedge through which women's ordination is achieved. Just put women in positions that do everything except Word and Sacrament and say:
>"Oy vey, well women already do so much in the church, surely it's time to recognise that and let them be ordained!"
Because of course it's impossible for women to do anything in the church without being ordained to Word and Sacrament ministry....

@nugger It’s just ordaining women with a loophole
