New Bishop – Erik Christensen

Last weekend, at its annual assembly, the Metropolitan Chicago Synod elected Erik Christensen as our next bishop, following interim bishop Wayne Miller and the ELCA’s current presiding bishop Yehiel Curry. Bishop-elect Christensen is currently serving as pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Evanston, following his tenure at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago as Pastor to the Community and Director of Strategic Initiatives.
