Rev. Tyler Peil elected to serve as synod recording secretary

Synod convention delegates elected Rev. Tyler Peil to be the synod’s new recording secretary. Peil, a pastor at Prince of Peace, Taylorsville, Utah, has accepted this call.

The WELS Bylaws note that the responsibilities of the recording secretary include serving as chairman of the synod’s Nominating Committee, recording the proceedings of synod conventions, and serving as secretary and an advisory member of the Conference of Presidents. The term of office is four years with no limit on the number of terms a recording secretary may serve. Peil will continue to serve in his current call as he carries out duties as the recording secretary.

Rev. Robert Pasbrig has served as WELS’ recording secretary since 2005. He chose not to be considered for nomination at this year’s convention.
