It has come to our attention that potentially misleading information has been circulating regarding Mr. Dan Woodring’s departure from Lutheranism and his associations with Higher Things. To set the public record straight, we are publishing this brief account of Mr. Woodring’s involvement with Higher Things.
Dan Woodring was one of the founders of Higher Things and served as its first president from 2001 to 2002, at which time he was succeeded by Pr. Klemet Preus, who served as president of Higher Thing until April, 2008. Mr. Woodring held the position of Executive Director from 2002 until 2005. He has had no subsequent involvement with Higher Things.
Higher Things remains committed to confessional Lutheran orthodoxy and liturgical worship in the Lutheran hymnal tradition. As a grassroots youth organization composed of LCMS pastors, teachers, and laity, our mission is to assist parents, congregations, and pastors in cultivating and promoting a Lutheran identity among youth through conferences, retreats, internet, publications, and campus ministries.
Now, as always, we “Dare to be Lutheran” and nothing else.
Pr. William M. Cwirla
Vice-President
