All denominations are welcome.
This year’s Transfiguration Series will be presented by the Rev. Herbert Anderson. Anderson earned his degree from Gustavus in 1958, master of divinity from Augustana Seminary, Rock Island, Ill., and doctorate from Drew University, Madison, N.J. He has served as pastor in parish, college, and hospital settings. Anderson has served as professor of theology and counseling at many seminaries in the country, most recently at Yale Divinity School and now at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, Berkeley, Calif.
Anderson is said to be one of the most prolific writers in the area of pastoral care and counseling. Several of his books will be available for purchase at the Book Mark on the Gustavus campus.
