Ingrid Bjerkås (8 May 1901 – 30 November 1980) was a Norwegian theologian and the first female minister in the Church of Norway.
She was born in Kristiania as a daughter of Olaf Johansen (1874–1958) and Hilda Charlotte Elise Holmsen (1874–1953).
In 1941, during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany, she wrote two letters to Vidkun Quisling, accusing him of treason and demanding his withdrawal from politics.
In 1943 she sent a similar letter to Josef Terboven,[2] protesting the crackdown on Norwegian students following the 1943 University of Oslo fire.
The Word denies women access to pastoral as well as teaching offices, and justifies this principle as God's creation scheme and the Lord's own will.
