Simferopol
On July 12th at worship in the congregation in Simferopol Archbishop Dietrich Brauer ordained Elza Gerko as pastor of the congregation and commissioned Marina Gusarova as preacher. Elza completed her theological education at the Seminar in Novosaratovka and for two years acted as preacher of the congregation. Marina is the church council president and has also been active for many years in church life.
This is an event Lutherans in Crimea had been waiting for for quite some time. Now they have their own pastor and preacher.
Archbishop Brauer presided at this ordination as part of his travels to the congregations in Yalta and Simferopol July 10-13. Accompanying him was the president of the Martin Luther Bund in Bavaria Wolfgang Hagemann.
