Profile
Chad Rimmer is a husband, father of two young boys, and an ordained Lutheran priest. He earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and his Master of Divinity at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. He has served the Church in York, Pennsylvania and Copenhagen, Denmark. While serving as parish pastor, Chad has served as an Ambassador for Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, on the York City Human Relations Commission and the Pennsylvania Council of Churches. Overseas, he served on the Danish National Council of Churches, and worked with the World Council of Churches in Geneva. His service has taken him to communities in South Africa, Belem, Brazil, Turkey, the Baltics and all over Europe. The convergence of faith, economics, ecological conflict and displacement has led Chad to pursue his PhD in Theological Ethics at the University of Edinburgh where he is conducting his research on the ethics of peacemaking in relationship to ecological conflict. He has recently written papers on the economic writings of Martin Luther in the area of Theological Ethics and the Global Economy, which is why he is delighted to submit this paper for the S.E.VEN Fund’s Morality of Profit Project.
