Dear Friends,

Grace and Peace to you from our Risen Savior, Jesus Christ!

I pray this Easter season has been and will continue to be a blessing to you. 

As we continue to move towards our Annual Gathering I have decided to share with you some of my thoughts about this past year to give you a broader context for some of the discussions and issues you will be dealing with at Annual Gathering as we discuss the future of NCNC.  First, let me apologize for the length of this letter; I have attempted to be brief but much has happened and so between this letter and two reports, this is not brief.  Second, while sharing all of this may bring up other questions, my hope is that you will first, have a much better idea about my thoughts and views as I have attempted to serve as your Interim Conference Minister over this past year, and second, understand the actions and circumstances behind what has happened over this past year.  Below I make reference to two important reports, a “Six-Month Report” and a “Six-Month Report (cont.)”.  These are the word for word reports that I presented to our Conference Council last fall and contain my thoughts, questions and rationale for many of the suggestions I have made over the last year.  read more...
