\"St.<\/p>\n

On Sunday March 21, 2010 a meeting was held to determine the fate of principal\u00a0John Hartwig who had been\u00a0suspended \u00a0earlier for engaging in conduct \u201cunbecoming a called worker\u201d. \u00a0The Baraboo News Republic in Baraboo, Wisconsin documents the letter that was sent to school parents that announced Hartwig\u2019s suspension:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

In a letter to school parents announcing his suspension, church pastors said Hartwig had promoted materials that questioned the church\u2019s teachings and had engaged in conduct \u201cunbecoming a called worker.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hartwig\u2019s father, a former pastor, authored a document years ago questioning Lutheran doctrine that says women shall not have authority over men. Church members say Hartwig, who has been principal since the summer of 2003, was accused of distributing that document to several in the congregation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of the 300 people who attended the meeting, females were not allowed to vote and although they had been granted the privilege to speak at other meetings, this meeting they were not allowed to voice their opinions or even ask questions.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s meeting was the first time in recent history that St. John\u2019s Council President Don Finseth exercised his authority to prevent females from speaking, church members say.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those at the meeting say that the vote was\u00a076-74 to fire Hartwig.<\/p>\n

How sad when women are treated as if their thoughts and opinions are worthless. \u00a0And this is at a time when the church needs every warrior in the battle against our spiritual enemy. I wonder how long it will be before our brothers in Christ see us as a tremendous value in the body of Christ and an equal heir of both the mercies of God and the gifts of God for the blessing of the body of Christ?<\/p>\n
