Professor Norma Cook Everist, who has taught at Wartburg for many years, helps foster a seminary community atmosphere of shared power and partnership that builds on the gifts and insights of the students, which in turn enhances learning for leadership in the church and in the world. She previously taught at Yale Divinity School.
She is a widely known lecturer across the country and the author of numerous books, chapters in books, articles and educational resources. Her most recent titles include Transforming Leadership, co-authored with Craig Nessan and Connections: Faith and Life, co-authored with Nelvin Vos. "Connections" is a four-unit experiential adult education resource using Luther's Large Catechism.
Her current research focuses on "Vocation," "Ministry in Daily Life," and the Epistles. She has prepared "Grace and Peace to You," a Yearlong Devotional Journey though the Epistles. Both these Daily Devotions and Connections are available on the Wartburg website under "Resources" for people to download, print and use.
She has served nationally and internationally on many task forces and committees in the areas of ministry, leadership, theological education, gender studies, and ministry in daily life. She is faculty editor for The Persistent Voice, a networking newsletter. She enjoys visiting congregations and church agencies where Wartburg graduates serve.
