VALPARAISO | In an intimate Sunday afternoon service at the Chapel of the Resurrection, the Rev. Charlene M. Rachuy Cox was installed as a pastor at Valparaiso University.

About 100 people gathered for the service to celebrate Cox's new university ministry.

The Rev. William Gafkjen, bishop of the Indiana-Kentucky Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, presided over the ceremony, during which assisting ministers laid hands on Cox for an official blessing.

Gafkjen prayed "the God of peace ... equip you with everything good that you may do his will" as the audience looked on.

A group of VU students presented Cox with objects symbolic of her role at the university -- a baptismal pitcher, a Bible, and a chalice and paten.
