Amy E. Reumann began serving as Director of LAMPa on July 1, 2009. She views advocacy as an “essential expression of baptismal identity and a ministry to which all followers of Christ

are called.”  She has had considerable personal experience and dedication to

the ministry of the church among the

poor and marginalized in society and believes that advocacy ministry must be done in partnership with those for whom

it is done.  

Pastor Reumann has served as a parish pastor in New Jersey and Wisconsin and as Assistant to the Bishop/Urban Coalition Director in the Greater Milwaukee Synod, ELCA. She is a native of Pennsylvania, having attended the Philadelphia High School for Girls and completed her undergraduate studies at Muhlenberg College, Allentown, PA with a self-designed major “Religion and International Affairs”. She did her seminary work at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago with a concentration in urban ministry and received the Master of Sacred Theology degree in Spiritual Direction at the Institute for Christian Spirituality at the General Theological Seminary in New York City.  

Pastor Reumann serves as director of LAMPa, working with the LAMPa Policy Council, synods and Lutheran agencies and institutions to identify policy issues that impact Pennsylvania and are consistent with the theological and public policy commitments of the ELCA, especially those commitments that relate to people without economic or political power. She welcomes your inquiries, questions and participation in the work of being a public church. Contact her at areumann@lamp.org or at 717-545-3500.
