ELCA PASTOR TO BE FEATURED ON 'THE PROTESTANT HOUR'
02-089-JB

     CHICAGO (ELCA) -- The Rev. Ronald T. Glusenkamp, a pastor of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), is a featured speaker
this spring for three installments of "The Protestant Hour," a
nationally broadcast radio program.
     Glusenkamp is vice president for customer outreach, ELCA Board of
Pensions, Minneapolis.
     Glusenkamp's message can be heard on broadcasts for April 21, May
19 and June 16. Each program includes a sermon and a short interview
with the speaker.
     Glusenkamp spent more than 20 years as pastor of churches in
Missouri and Kansas, including 11 years as senior pastor at Gethsemane
Lutheran Church, St. Louis.  He has worked as a media consultant for
congregations and other nonprofit organizations.
     Glusenkamp became known as "the sign man" in St. Louis for
provocative postings outside his church.  He authored a book, "Signs for
These Times," which offers insight on how congregations can use outdoor
signs to attract visitors.
     The Protestant Hour has been broadcast on radio stations every
year for more than 56 years.  It has won numerous awards in the process,
including the George Foster Peabody Award for broadcast excellence.
     The program is produced cooperatively by the ELCA, Episcopal
Church Media Center, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and United Methodist
Church.
