I am a lifelong Lutheran with decades of experience in secular journalism. Like many of you, I’m interested in the theological and historical roots of our faith and how that plays out in the contemporary world. I want to know what our church leaders are thinking, what other Lutherans are doing, how religion in general influences and is impacted by culture. My favorite reading materials are newspapers, specialty magazines and non-fiction. I work hard, but never skip vacations in order to regroup. I’ve been blessed with a spouse of 35 years, two children and six grandchildren. My church is a focal point of life in Chicago. I answer my own phone, and respond to e-mail and letters (but usually not spleen-venting tirades). And how about those World Series champions Chicago White Sox? I still choke up — I lived to see it.

Currently Dan is the editor of the The Lutheran magazine.
