New BME administrator called
Filed Under: BME, Ministerial Education
WELS Board for Ministerial Education (BME) met today and called Rev. David Wenzel, professor at Fox Valley Lutheran High School, Appleton, Wis., to be the new BME administrator. The call meeting was scheduled after Rev. Paul Prange, president of Michigan Lutheran Seminary, Saginaw, declined the call Nov. 6.
Wenzel has served at Fox Valley Lutheran High School since 1991. He also served at St. Paul, St. James, Minn., and the former Martin Luther Preparatory School in Prairie Du Chien, Wis.
Rev. Donald Sutton, BME chairman, says getting a new administrator won't be the board's only change in upcoming months; next year all of the executive committee members will be finishing their terms. "There are going to be some big-time transitions," says Sutton. He adds that he's looking forward to getting someone on board soon, "so that we have a leader as we go through the present challenges and make plans for the future."
