About Me
- Law+Gospel
- I'm a proud 2011 graduate of Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg and the Pastor of Christ Lutheran Church continuing the journey that God has planned. This is where I somewhat regularly contemplate the intersection of faith and the real world, and the tension between law and the Gospel. I am blessed with a wonderful husband, two Lutheran Chicks and Toby, our beagle/pointer mix! And now for the legal lingo:Views expressed here are mine alone, and do not represent the ELCA, LTSG, or any ministry context in which I serve or to which I belong. The names in my stories have been changed to protect the innocent, as have key facts. If the story sounds familiar perhaps it is because life experiences can be universal.

The Future of the Lower Susquehanna Synod.
After multiple ballots, we have a new bishop. Having served on the committee that counted ballots, 700 is a lot! There really is not enough time to discern whether someone is the person who should be the pastor of pastors. I know that although I heard things I liked, I heard things that concern me. As a person devoted to Lutheran confessional theology, I am unsure where we are headed in the LSS. I pray that the office shapes the person as much as the person shapes the office. In a time when the ELCA is ready to fly apart, I pray that our new bishop will be a leader and a shepherd who is committed to energizing the synod but also committed to remaining true to our core.
