Rev. Dr. Deborah Krause Delivers Baccalaureate Address and Receives Honorary Doctorate
Eden Theological Seminary is proud to celebrate a wonderful occasion for our President, Rev. Dr. Deborah Krause. Dr. Krause was invited to deliver the sermon at Heidelberg University’s Baccalaureate Service for the Class of 2025. In a highlight of the weekend, she also received an honorary doctorate from Heidelberg University during their Commencement ceremony—a deeply meaningful recognition of her contributions to theological education and ministry.
This event reflects the connection between Eden Seminary and Heidelberg University, both rooted in the United Church of Christ. The legacy of collaboration and shared mission between our schools continues to inspire new generations of leaders.
The celebration in Tiffin, OH, was marked by warmth, hospitality, and joy. Highlights included performances by Heidelberg’s Jazz Band and Choir, making the evening before Commencement truly unforgettable.
Eden Seminary extends its heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Krause on this distinguished honor and looks forward to deepening the bonds between our two institutions in the years to come.
Please join us in celebrating Dr. Krause and this honor!
