In 2000, Jens and Agneta immigrated to the

Here Jens worked with the U.S. Naval
Academy, comparing the academy's
program of military ethics with that of the German Navy. In 2003, Jens
completed a doctoral program on this subject at the Catholic
University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Germany. During this work, Jens
realized that God called him, not to be a teacher of philosophy, but of
the Gospel. Jesus' words in John 14:6, "I am the way, and the truth,
and the life" led him into the candidacy process for the ordained
ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and he
enrolled at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg, PA.
Having served as a vicar at Saint Nicholas Lutheran Church in
Huntingtown, MD from 2003 to 2004, Jens was ordained into the
ministry of Word and Sacrament in January 2005 at Saint Martin's
Evangelical Lutheran Church in Annapolis. He served at St. Martin's for
three years as the Associate Pastor. In December 2007, Father Jens
was ordained in the historic apostolic succession and became the
pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, a congregation of the
Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church (ALCC).
Fr. Jens has a strong passion for unity among all Christians, and in
particular for the dialog between Lutherans and Roman Catholics.
