BOARD FOR UNIVERSITY EDUCATION

enough to be saved. The direction the Synod must go is clear
in the Great Commission; we are to go, teach, and baptize all
nations without fear. Jesus put no limits on our mission; it was
broad yet simple. We should not limit ourselves in mission,
but should minister to all.

Qualifications: The Board for University Education is
responsible for establishing educational and administrative
standards, policies, and procedures for the coordination of the
Synod’s 10 colleges and universities. Board members should
have a background and experience in education or administration or finance. They should be acquainted with current trends
in education and should have a heart and passion for Christian,
Lutheran education that includes preparation for a variety of
professions, especially leadership roles that serve parish life
in local communities; that offers opportunities for an increasing number of the church’s youth to select a Concordia as a
preferred place for higher education experiences; and that promotes the educational system as a mission outreach of the
LCMS as a significant feature. Must be available for no fewer
than two meetings per year of two days each.

Our seminaries produce leaders
who are well prepared to proclaim
the Gospel of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. In today’s world, I
believe that our leaders’ education
must also equip them to reach out to lost people with compassion, transparency, and authenticity. Our seminaries must have
strong financial support and management in order to carry out
its task. With my background in finance, management, and
my passion for pastoral education, I will do all that I can to
strengthen our seminaries and support our future leaders.

My 43 years of LCMS ministry, 36 as district staff and district president, have made me keenly aware of the importance
of quality training, continuing education, and Christ-centered
career preparation for church workers and lay leaders, as provided by Concordia University System. My membership on
the board of regents of one of our universities (chair for 7
years) left me deeply committed to this important training
arm of our church. If elected, I will work diligently as a board
member to strengthen and enhance it so that it will continue
to prepare excellent and committed church workers and lay
leaders.

With God’s help, the Board for
Pastoral Education has been a
strong advocate for seminary education in the LCMS, a catalyst for cooperation between the
seminaries, and a supporter of innovative developments in
seminary education. This is as it should be, since I firmly
agree with our Synod’s founding fathers that the most important task of the Synod is to prepare faithful pastors for service
to the church. With the physical and spiritual support of all
members of the LCMS, I look forward to the future as our two
seminaries, in brotherly competition, continue to strive for
excellence in pastoral education.
