The Eastern Synod joins in celebrating the announcement of the Rev. Dr. Daranne Harris as the new Principal-Dean of Luther! We are absolutely delighted to welcome Dr. Harris into this vital leadership role within our church and academic community.
Martin Luther University College holds a profoundly special place in our synod, serving as a cornerstone of faith, education, and social justice. The vibrant connection between Luther and our Eastern Synod congregations is at the heart of our shared ministry, shaping the minds and hearts of leaders who serve across our communities.
Bishop Carla Blakley shares her excitement for this new chapter:
“It is a joy to welcome Rev. Dr. Daranne Harris to this role. Our congregations and the wider church benefit so deeply from the leadership and theological grounding nurtured at Luther. I am very much looking forward to building a close, collaborative working relationship with Dr. Harris as we walk together in ministry, supporting our congregations and serving our communities with faith and hope.”
Please join us in offering our warmest congratulations to Rev. Dr. Harris, and let’s lift up the entire faculty, staff, and student body at Martin Luther University College in our prayers during this exciting season of transition!
