Meet Bishop Hanson
In August 2001, the
Churchwide Assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America (ELCA) elected Mark S. Hanson to serve as presiding
bishop.
Before being elected presiding bishop, he served as bishop of
the Saint Paul Area Synod
(3H). He had been elected to serve a second term in Saint
Paul earlier that same year. Prior to being elected synod
bishop, he served as pastor of three Minnesota congregations:
Prince of Glory Lutheran Church, Minneapolis; Edina (Minnesota)
Community Lutheran Church; and University Lutheran Church of
Hope in Minneapolis.
Born in Minneapolis on December 2, 1946, he graduated from
Augsburg College with a B.A. in sociology. He was a Rockefeller
Fellow at Union Theological Seminary, New York City, and
received a Master of Divinity degree there in 1972. He also
attended Luther Seminary, St Paul, Minnesota, and was a Merrill
Fellow at Harvard Divinity School in 1979. (more) |
