Project Title:

Pastor Beth Platz 50th Anniversary


About this project:

In 2020, we celebrate 50 years of Lutheran women being ordained in the United States. In November 1970, Elizabeth Platz was ordained in College Park, MD and became the first female pastor in the Lutheran Church in North America. This book will celebrate that milestone in ministry with a compilation of memories, photos, and momentos and presented to Pastor Beth following her ordination anniversary.
