John W. Bachman
|
|
Lutheran World Relief, begun as an effort to alleviate suffering after World War II, has influenced the lives of countless people throughout the world. A drama of compassion, this is the story of the Lutheran response to the great global challenges of a tragic century. Born May 30, 1916, in Youngstown, Ohio, John W. Bachman is a graduate of Capital University, Columbus, Ohio, and the former Evangelical Lutheran Theological Seminary (ELTS), Columbus. Ordained in 1941, he served as pastor of Emanuel Lutheran Church, Warren, Ohio, and earned a master's degree from Ohio State University, Columbus. Bachman served on the faculties of Capital University and Baylor University, Waco, Texas, before becoming a professor of practical theology and director of the Center for Communication and the Arts, Union Theological Seminary, New York. In 1964 Bachman became the 11th president of Wartburg College, Waverly, Iowa. From 1974 until his retirement in 1980, Bachman was director of the Office of Communication and Mission Support of the former American Lutheran Church, which merged with two other Lutheran churches to form the ELCA in 1988.
