Saluting Pr. Paul Tidemann
Abstract: Pr. Paul Tidemann to retire at year's end.
On November 19, members of St. Paul - Reformation Lutheran Church in St. Paul, MN, gathered to salute Pr. Paul Tidemann who will retire at the end of 2006. Among the special guests present for the occasion were Greg Egertson, co-chair of LLGM and Jeannine Janson, co-chair of Lutherans Concerned.
Throughout his career, Pr. Tidemann has been a tireless advocate for the Gospel and for justice. He was instrumental in the formation of Wingspan MInistry and led the congregation through its decision to call Pr. Anita Hill in 2001. At the 2005 Churchwide Assebmly he spoke eloquently on behalf of the cause of full inclusion for people of all gender identities. And while is known outside the congregation for his work in the public sphere, at St. Paul - Reformation church, he is highly regarded for his care of God's people and his stewardship of the ministry of Word and Sacrament.
