Ethnic Demographics
The Multi-Ethnic/Cross-Cultural Study Committee has begun implementation of its first plan to make the denomination more geographically and ethnically diverse. Committee member Neemita Pandya announced that the Naperville Church of the Brethren, which is primarily ethnically Indian, will be moving around periodically so that different districts' ethnic demographics will all get a boost. Initially located in Illinois, Naperville’s next location will be Pennsylvania. The specific district to be credited with Naperville’s membership has yet to be determined. The four districts comprising the Keystone State are the Western, Middle, and Southern Pennsylvania District along with the Atlantic Northeast District.

Besides that, Beacon Heights is moving from Fort Wayne, IN to North Manchester, and University Park CoB is moving from Hyattsville, MD to Brooklyn. This should be interesting.
Could be a good way to resolve some conflicts between congregations and their home districts!
