Description: Bishop Aitken's recent pastoral letter to all members of the Northeastern Minnesota Synod. Please include it in your congregation's newsletter and bulletins. Dr. Richard Nysse, Professor of Old Testament at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, is our Teaching Theologian for the Bishop’s Theological Convocation. Richard Nysse was called to be assistant professor of Old Testament at Luther Seminary in 1978 and was named professor in 1993. He earned the B.A. degree from Concordia Senior College, Fort Wayne, Ind., in 1968, and the M.Div. degree from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo., in 1972. Nysse received the Th.D. degree from Harvard Divinity School in 1984. This congregational resource event centers on the theme: "The Marks of Discipleship." You can expect a day filled with mission and ministry, practical information, and resources galore! The keynote presenter is Pastor Stephen Bouman, who most recently served as bishop to the Metropolitan New York Synod. He was elected Nov. 11 by the ELCA Church Council to a four-year appointment as executive director of ELCA Evangelical Outreach and Congregational Mission (EOCM) beginning Jan. 1, 2008. Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson describes Bouman: "He has a passion to proclaim Christ, make disciples and build up the church for the sake of the world."
