At its regular meeting on 29 May 2020 the CLTS Board of Regents resolved to restart the call process for a new seminary professor. This decision arose following the news that Rev. Min Kim, who had accepted the call in 2019 but intended to complete his contract as a military chaplain before coming this summer, had reluctantly decided to revoke it. Rev. Kim now intends to remain in the Canadian Forces.
In June 2019 Rev. Esko Murto vacated the position of Dogmatics professor at CLTS in order to return to parish ministry in Finland. In the 2019-20 academic year, the seminary was well served by adjunct faculty members and a visiting professor from Germany, Dr Werner Klän. The President and Board hope to fill the position during the coming academic year. We therefore seek applications from suitably qualified pastors and welcome recommendations from members of the church.
The present full-time faculty consists of Dr Thomas Winger (New Testament, Liturgics), Dr John Stephenson (Historical, New Testament), and Dr Harold Ristau (Practical, Dogmatics).
