Franconia Conference moderators announce resignations

Stephen Kriss, skriss@mosaicmennonites.org

Blaine Detwiler, Franconia Mennonite Conference board chair and moderator, and Randy Heacock, Franconia Conference assistant board chair and assistant moderator, have issued their resignations in accordance with the Conference Review Report near term/immediate recommendations as approved by the Board earlier this spring. Both Detwiler (Lakeview congregation) and Heacock (Doylestown congregation) agreed to submit resignations upon affirmation of new board chairs/moderators which happened earlier this week with the affirmation of John Goshow as moderator/board chair and Miriam Book as assistant board chair/assistant moderator. Goshow and Book assume their responsibilities on August 1, 2010. Detwiler and Heacock’s resignations are effective July 31, 2010.

On behalf of Franconia Conference, Rina Rampogu (Plains congregation) continuing conference board and executive board member adds “Blaine’s visionary leadership style with both a meek and lively spirit along with Randy’s insight and wisdom helped us to think and move Franconia Conference into God’s kingdom in a new way. We pray that God will continue to bless them personally, their work and ministry with their congregations and beyond that their faith and love for the Lord will strengthen even in this transition time.”

The opinions expressed in articles posted on Mosaic’s website are those of the author and may not reflect the official policy of Mosaic Conference. Mosaic is a large conference, crossing ethnicities, geographies, generations, theologies, and politics. Each person can only speak for themselves; no one can represent “the conference.” May God give us the grace to hear what the Spirit is speaking to us through people with whom we disagree and the humility and courage to love one another even when those disagreements can’t be bridged.
