I have the required qualifications as a candidate with an advanced degree (Th.D., 1975) and theological acumen gained through extensive teaching experiences as an adjunct professor at the Lutheran University of Brazil, Trinity Theological Seminary, and CUI. Since having taught at CUI in 2014, I have also been very supportive of the faculty, staff, and students with my prayers and personal financial giving. I will be responsible for the academic, financial, and spiritual health of CUI. I am also very supportive of the doctrinal position of Synod and will conduct all affairs of CUI according to the Constitution, Bylaws, and resolutions of Synod.
