CAMBRIDGE, Mass. —
The Rev. Ronald F. Thiemann, dean of the Divinity School at Harvard University, plans to step down after leading the school for 12 years.
Thiemann, a pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, says that he plans to return to the divinity school faculty after taking a sabbatical in 1999.
He came to Harvard in July 1986 after serving as professor and chairman of the religion department at Haverford College. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Concordia Senior College and earned his doctorate at Yale.
