The
search for a Northeast Area Minister is being extended for another year
and the committee being reconstituted, after the former committee was
unable to agree on a candidate.
“This
is a process just like what any local church goes through, and sometimes
a search committee cannot find ‘the one,’” said Interim Conference Minister
and President Erwin Bode.
A new search committee is being formed, including those members from
the previous committee who wish to continue on. The hope is that a candidate
will be presented to the Board of Directors next May.
“The good news is that quite a few more candidates have expressed interest
who were not available a year ago,” Bode said.
Interim Northeast Area Minister Marilyn Rossier will continue to serve
during the extended search.
