“…18 In the 1970's the discipline came to the surface again, now in a critical way, because of the new discussion about the private life of the pastor and the model character of the Pfarrhaus. German, protestant Pfarrhausliteratur and Pfarrhaustheologie was an important part of the German pastoral theology from the 1850's until the 1930's.…”

“…19 In the Pfarrhaustheologie, it is essential that the ordained ministry and the Pfarrhaus are so closely connected that in fact they become inseparable. 26 It is crucial to the (self-) understanding of das evangelische Pfarrhaus that it is derived directly from Luther's own marriage to Katarina von Bora, it descends from Luther himself: "seine Hochzeit 1525… wird als Geburtstunde des evangelischen Pfarrhauses gefeiert."

This article presents a part of Danish church history which has previously suffered from a lack of attention: The story of homosexual pastors in Denmark. I want to show how the discussion on homosexuality and ministry ran in Denmark in the 1970's and 1980's and how homosexual pastors were integrated into the ELCD. Moreover, I will analyse this discussion material from the perspective of the German Pfarrhaustradition and point to the civil side of the Lutheran understanding of ministrymarriage and householdas a crucial reason why homosexual pastors, as well as unmarried heterosexual pastors, have been considered a theological problem. Finally, I will compare the image of the pastor in the Lutheran Pfarrhaustradition with a Catholic understanding of ministry and suggest that both set the pastor apart from the world through regulation of relationships and sexuality.
