Hoeft Installed as Town and Country Ministries Chair

Dr. Jeanne Hoeft has been named to the Franklin and Louise Cole Chair in Town and Country Ministries. A gift from the estate of Franklin and Louise Cole in 2009 led to the naming of the chair for Town and Country Ministries which has been a historic commitment and focus of theological education at Saint Paul School of Theology.

Dr. Hoeft’s teaching and scholarship in the area of rural ministries with a focus on pastoral theology and pastoral care is praised across the Heartland.

In her most recent book, Practicing Care in Rural Congregations and Communities, Dr. Hoeft along with Dr. Shannon Jung and Dr. Joretta Marshall share some rural church ministry best practices. They write that rural areas have particular challenges and have unique and useful insights into what it means to care for one another.

Dr. Hoeft’s installation service will be Tuesday, September 22, 2015 at 11:00 p.m. in Wesley Chapel at Church of the Resurrection.

Please RSVP as lunch reservations are required for guests.
