Abstract

Considering the 40-year period of openness for women's participation in the ecclesiastical structure of the Evangelical Church of Lutheran Confession in Brazil (IECLB), this research was based on the study of the dynamics of historical and social processes that reconfigure religious experiences and reframe the practices of Christian women of Lutheran confession as ecclesiastical authorities. Founded as an evangelical church in Brazil by Protestant European immigrants, it has developed into an “active” church in Brazil. The production of written testimonies, oral sources and multisited ethnography in São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul were used. There is an impact of feminisms on the subjectivities of the women involved in the elaboration and dissemination of a spiritualist feminist ideology with an impact on Brazil's political, religious and teaching contexts. It is concluded that the feminist ideology, through feminist theology, in the context of the Lutheran confessionality, better serves women in this religious world. (AU)
