What was a protestant priests life like before the Reformation?
Before the Reformation, there were two Christian religions-the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox. Both had priests as well as bishops and deacons. There was no such thing as Protestant priests before the Reformation. After the Lutheran Church was founded, the word priest was dropped and today in the Lutheran church, they ordain deacons, pastors or elders and in some Lutheran sects, bishops. The Anglican Church after the Reformation, was and is considered a "bridge" between the Roman Catholics and the Calvinists and Lutherans. They ordain deacons, priests and bishops like in the Catholic and Orthodox faiths. The primary difference at the time the Church of England was founded in the 16th century, was the Mass would be spoken in English not Latin.

Are Lutheran priests allowed to get married?
In most juristictions and synods, they may. In some small Lutheran synods, bishops may not, while priests/pastors and deacons/deaconesses may. Lutheran clergy who are not married are bound to celibacy. Those who believe they have the gift of celibacy, sometimes take a vow of celibacy to devote their entire life to evangelism and charitable work. This is most common in deaconess communites and amongst Lutheran monastics.
Do church teachers have authority to baptize?
Catholic AnswerNormally, only the ordained clergy: deacons, priests, and bishops have the authority to baptize, however, in an emergency ANYONE can baptize, even a person who has not been baptized. All they need to do is pour plain water (and only water) over the person's head while saying, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." They must intend to do what the Church does while they do this. Non-Catholic AnswerNon-Catholic Christians believe that the great commission was given by Jesus to all believers/disciples: Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,So any Christian can baptize a new believer. But an unbeliever has no authority to baptize.

Where can you find a story to read to toddlers on why Lutheran's baptize?
Protestants baptize new Christians because Jesus was baptized. This is recorded in Matthew 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-11, and Luke 3:21-22. There is no story that records Jesus's baptism in the Bible, other than these few verses, but I'm sure you could find a small storybook at a Christian book store that is perfect.
Why does the deacons hold the candle?
