Second president of CLS called to glory
On February 21, 2025, Rev. Dr. Milton Rudnick—the second president of Concordia Lutheran Seminary (CLS) in Edmonton, Alberta—was called to glory, at the age of 97.
During his lifetime, Dr. Milton served as a pastor, church historian, theologian, author, fund-raiser, missionary, and seminary president. He spent much of his ministry serving as a professor at Concordia College (now University) in St. Paul.
In Dr. Rudnick’s role as Regional Director of the LCMS Forward in Remembrance funding drive, he raised some of the money that helped build the Concordia Lutheran Seminary building—and there remains a small endowment that supports the seminary to this day!
Dr. Rudnick served as CLS President for five years, from 1987-1992. During this time, he saw the seminary to accreditation through the Association of Theological Schools, as well as the funding and construction of the current seminary building.
Dr. Rudnick’s full obituary can be found here.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at Life in Christ Lutheran Church in Albertville, Minnesota.
