Deborah Krause to become first female president of Eden Theological Seminary

Deborah Krause has been named the first female president at Eden Theo­logical Seminary. She will replace David Green­haw, who will retire from the United Church of Christ institution this summer after a 23-year tenure.

Krause currently serves as a professor of New Testament studies at Eden. Krause has worked to make Eden a more diverse campus. She led the seminary’s participation in the Fer­gu­son freedom movement following the 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown by a police officer in nearby Ferguson, Missouri.
