CLS Board Calls President

Dr. James Gimbel has received a call from the Board of Regents of CLS to the position of President. The seminary’s electors conducted interviews and cast their votes last Friday.

From the Canadian Lutheran: 

Dr. Gimbel has served as a professor at Concordia University, St. Paul, Minnesota, since 2002, where he has done extensive work in leadership and management. Prior to that he was a senior editor of youth, family, and Sunday School materials for Concordia Publishing House in St. Louis. In addition to these areas of service to the church-at-large, he was a parish pastor in North Dakota in the early years of his ministry, and has worked virtually non-stop in assisting congregations, district, and educational institutions to carry out self-studies and in conflict resolution.
