Alumnus Eric Childers (MDiv ’04) has published, College Identity Sagas (Pickwick, 2012), where he traces the forty-year narratives of three colleges of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – Concordia College, Gettysburg College, and Lenoir-Rhyne University. He sheds light on the question, “Are these schools seeking to preserve their religious identities, and if so, what organizational strategies are supporting these efforts?” For those interested in distinctive colleges, religiously affiliated higher education, and organization and institutional theories, this book is a vital resource.
