Engagement to called worker
I was baptized and confirmed in the ELCA. I have recently become engaged to my fiancee, and she is WELS. She graduated from Martin Luther College and is now a called synod worker. I have heard from many that she is "at risk" for dating and getting engaged to someone who is not WELS and could lose her job. Is this true? I don't want her to lose her job because of me, but I am also "stuck in my ways."
If your fiancée were a student at Martin Luther College (MLC), her engagement to you would delay any assignment until the fellowship situation was resolved. That is the practice, in Christian freedom, that our church body has adopted.
We have no general policy regarding single graduates from MLC who become engaged and marry while serving as teachers in our congregations and schools. Situations like that are congregational matters.
Teachers contemplating marriage plans to individuals outside our fellowship will want to communicate such plans to the leadership of their calling body and perhaps also with their district president. I wish you both well!
