Tiede, Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minn.; the Rev. Roger W. Fjeld, Wartburg Theological Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa; and the Rev. H.

Lull's installation will begin Saturday evening with an academic procession representing various elements of the ELCA and the seminary's partnership in the Graduate Theological Union with eight other Christian seminaries. ELCA Presiding Bishop H. George Anderson will participate in the installation with Bishop Mark Ramseth of the ELCA's Montana Synod, who chairs the seminary's board, and Lull's sister, the Rev.
