Bishop Sally Dyck
Her leadership priorities are based on the Great Commandment and the Great Commission: to guide people to love God with their whole selves, to daily practice spiritual disciplines and to share God's love with those who do not know God. She has devised a "spiritual pyramid," based on the FDA food pyramid, which illustrates the spiritual practices that build healthy people of faith.
Before coming to Minnesota, Bishop Dyck served as a pastor and a district superintendent in the East Ohio Conference. She received theological training from Boston University School of Theology (Master of Divinity, 1978), University of Geneva/World Council of Churches (graduate certificate, 1978), and United Theological Seminary, Dayton, Ohio (Doctor of Ministry, Black Church Studies, 1989). She has been married to the Rev. Kenneth Ehrman, a United Methodist elder, since 1976. The two have traveled the globe together by plane and bicycle and on foot.
