About me
Rev. Peter Rehwaldt, Ph.D. is an ELCA interim pastor, hymnologist, and former HSUSC Director of Research, living in the Metro Kansas City area. His doctoral work focused on a multigenerational understanding of liturgy, hymnody, and preaching. At past HSUSC conferences, he has offered various sectionals, crafted and led Morning Prayer, and presented a plenary address on what Dr. Seuss would sing. As an interim pastor, Peter has used hymns extensively to help congregations in transition explore themselves and their mission, heal from past divisions and conflicts, and embrace the power of good-news-centered song that strengthens and supports them in their ministry.
