STEGEMOELLER TO RETIRE FROM ELCA FOUNDATION
The Rev. Harvey A. Stegemoeller, executive director of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Foundation, will retire on
August 31, 1996. The Rev. H. George Anderson, bishop of the
ELCA, announced Stegemoeller#s retirement at the April 12-15
meeting of the ELCA Church Council in Chicago. Anderson
reported that since Stegemoeller began with the ELCA Foundation
in 1987, more than $135 million in gifts, bequests, trusts, and
annuities has been generated for the ELCA and its institutions.
As executive director of the Foundation, Stegemoeller brought the
total amount of expectancies to $224 million. "His record of
achievement will stand as his own gift to this church, and, like
so many of the gifts that he arranged, it will keep on giving to
the ELCA and its causes in perpetuity," said Anderson. Prior to
joining the Foundation, Stegemoeller served as president of
Capital University, Columbus, Ohio for eight years. Before going
to Capital he was president of Concordia College, St. Paul,
Minn., and executive director of the Minnesota Private College
Association. Stegemoeller graduated from Concordia College, St.
Louis, in 1950 and received his master of divinity degree from
Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, in 1953. At the annual banquet of
the Association of Lutheran Development Executives, April 14, Oak
Brook, Ill., Stegmoeller received the "Virgil Anderson Award" --
the Association's highest honor for lifetime achievements in
support of Lutheran ministries.
