Martin Luther's claim that those who "crawl out of baptism" are ordained as priest, bishop, and pope gave classic expression to the Reformation doctrine of the priesthood of all believers: all the baptised, regardless of gender or social standing, participate in the priesthood of Jesus Christ, and no ontological separation is assumed between laity and the ordained. However, Article XIV of the Confessio Augustana insists that the public exercise of ministry requires a proper call by the Church. This raises the question of how to understand the distinction between baptismal priesthood and ordained ministry. As a case study, this presentation examines the practice of the Lutheran Church in Austria, which adopts a middle way: some may be ordained by the Church and then serve as Pfarrer. Others may be called by the Church and serve as Lektoren. In both forms of ministry, they are permitted to administer the sacraments. The Austrian practice thus distinguishes between ordination and call without positing an ontological separation between Pfarrer and Lektoren. The presentation therefore asks what, in practice, distinguishes the two groups, and whether their rights and duties coincide. It further discusses this "Austrian solution" within an ecumenical horizon by engaging Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox understandings of ministry. The presentation concludes by considering whether, and in what respects, this Austrian approach may function as a constructive impulse or as a challenge for intra-Lutheran and interconfessional dialogue.
