On the evening of October 28, 2012 the community of the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago installed the Reverend James Nieman, PhD as its seventh President. The Installation service was held at 4 p.m. in Rockefeller Memorial Chapel on the campus of the University of Chicago. Presiding Bishop Mark S. Hanson served as the Presiding Minister.

The Director of Liturgy and Dean of Augustana Chapel Dr. Ben Stewart pointed out that the liturgical function of the service was “much like the installation of a Pastor.” The service began with a procession of roughly 75 individuals representing various elements of the seminary community such as faculty, staff, students, alumni, directors, and other ecclesiastical and educational leaders. Rows and rows of brightly colored vestments streamed into the chapel in brilliant contrast to the light grey stonework. The tones of the Cantorei and organ music, under the directorship of Principal Musician Daniel Schwandt, brought the congregation to the purpose of their gathering.

Promotional materials for the event provide the following details…
Movies can open our minds and our hearts to new understandings and enable us to make connections to cultures and patterns of thinking that are outside our own personal experiences. At LSTC’s 2009 Leadership Conference, excerpts from several films will be viewed, explored and discussed to provide a deeper understanding of film in the development and sharing of narratives.
