Gottfried Locher is President of the Federation of Swiss Protestant Churches. The doctor of theology has an MBA from the prestigious London Business School. He currently chairs the Swiss Council of Religions. Locher is known for speaking plainly and not beating about the bush. In the book "Gottfried Locher. The Reformed Bishop" (2014), the author Josef Hochstrasser writes the following about him: "Locher is the highest-ranking protestant in Switzerland. Nevertheless, the positions of office he holds and the privileges he enjoys have neither changed his ways nor his manner. He stands up and speaks frankly, understandably, and without smug parish grandeur. He moves amongst ordinary folk and is able to understand what drives and concerns them
