Johnson Resigns from North Park Seminary, Heads to Fuller
CHICAGO, IL (June 14, 2005) - Todd Johnson has resigned as associate professor
of worship and theology at North Park Theological Seminary (NPTS).
Johnson, who also served as dean of the Seminary Chapel, is joining the
staff of the Brehm Center for Worship, Theology and the Arts at Fuller
Theological Seminary, beginning September 1. He will work primarily
with doctoral students.
"We're very sorry to lose him," says Jay Phelan Jr., president and dean
of North Park Theological Seminary. "We're very excited for the
wonderful opportunity he has to serve the wider church and develop the
new worship program."
Johnson informed NPTS administration of his decision last week. Phelan
says the faculty will determine what the seminary's long-term needs are
before proceeding with a search.
Johnson joined the seminary faculty in August 2003. He had taught the
previous six years at Loyola University of Chicago's Institute for
Pastoral Studies. He also had taught in an adjunct capacity for NPTS, as
well as several other institutions.
A 1982 graduate of North Park College, Johnson earned a Master of
Divinity with emphasis in Theology from NPTS in 1986. He was ordained in
1988.
Johnson served as an associate pastor at Broadway Covenant Church in
Rockford, Illinois, and at the Evangelical Covenant Church of South
Bend, Indiana, before beginning his teaching career at Loyola. While in
South Bend, Johnson earned a Ph.D. in theology from the University of
Notre Dame in 1996.
