            “Such a person is very important in a world that is evidently pluralistic, and in a campus community that’s quite diverse,” said Ron MacLennan, professor of religion at the college. “It’s inherent in our Lutheran heritage and an essential part of our college’s mission to engage in conversations. With Rev. Ucko, students will be able to see a model of how one might relate to persons of other religions.”
