The Board of Directors of Higher Things has officially received and accepted a letter of resignation from its president, the Rev. Klemet Preus, effective February 18, 2008. In his letter to the Board, Pr. Preus indicated his intention to resign as president in order to pursue other pastoral and personal goals.
Pr. Preus has been instrumental in the development and maturation of Higher Things as a unique confessional and liturgical Lutheran youth organization. He has served faithfully as Higher Things’ president since 2002, all the while exhorting us to “worship, work, and play” and know the difference among them.
While no longer serving as the public face of Higher Things, Pr. Preus still promises to be visible at Higher Things’ conferences in the pulpit and the classroom doing what he does best: preaching, teaching, and admonishing us to “Dare to be Lutheran.”
We are thankful to God and deeply grateful to Pr. Preus for his devoted years of pastoral guidance and Gospel-oriented leadership, and we pray our Lord’s grace and every blessing on his new endeavors.
Until a new president can be named by the Board of Directors, the duties of the office of president will be assumed by Higher Things’ vice-president, the Rev. William M. Cwirla.
