The search continues for a candidate for the position of Director of Computer Operations. The General Board's Human Resource office thought they were close but, at the last minute, a hopeful prospect opted to take a position with Duplo Data instead. It appears that the ratio of work to salary that the Brethren can offer is nowhere close to that of supporting LabOra software.

Monkey See, Monkey Do
Faced with growing administrative costs, of which salaries is an ever increasing component, the General Board is looking into creative measures to fill its future staffing needs. One such measure may be fulfilled by PPI which, as it expands its services, may be able to bulk up the numbers of administrative staff that the denominational headquarters has seen constantly shrinking. According to one General Board member, the savings in salaries and benefits alone will help fund expanded program and potentially allow some discontinued positions to be reopened. However, while such a move would not be expected to hurt the already negative image of leadership held by many in the denomination, it would very likely start a whole new dialog over the relative merits of evolution versus creationism.

Position Opening
Perhaps as a knee jerk reaction to the outcrys of protest, the General Board has announced that it will begin advertising the newly created position of Executive Director of Roofing and Witness. The new office has received a program budget of $1.4 million dollars. "We'll be able to make a profound witness with this new support," said newly appointed general secretary Stanley Noffsinger. Several new Faith Expeditions are being planned for next summer. Participants will get an opportunity to work outdoors, in the summer sun, providing much needed roofing for their hosts while also experiencing the intricate workings of the General Board staff in Elgin. David Radcliff, current executive director of Brethren Witness could not be reached for comment and it is not apparent whether he has been offered this new position.

Hammers Versus Bricks
Almost weekly, the Dunker Journal has pointed out the listing of pulpit vacancies. This just in... an invitation on the VOS listserver for candidates to take a look at Michigan pastorates. Is there a finder's fee for pastors? Tell them the Gospel Messenger sent you.

Search for General Secretary Hits Major League Snag
Kirk Stiffney has confirmed reports that a leading candidate for the head position of the Church of the Brethren General Offices has withdrawn from negotiations. "We were just unable to reach an agreement over the salary," said Stiffney, "and our prime candidate accepted an offer from another organization... the General Board was unwilling to meet his demands."

The Golden Rule
Please let the GM editors buy a few indulgences and present some thoughts. Judy Mills Reimer's resignation could just be the financial shot in the arm that the denomination so sorely needs. Don't get us wrong; it's not that we think that giving has been withheld because of her leadership. Instead, it's the vacancy that's been created that could prove to be a boon. It is a vacancy which just cries loudly for the attention of every special interest group in the denomination.
It's the well known "Golden Rule." Those who have the gold make the rules. If a group wants to peddle their influence they are going to have to show they've got clout, and it's going to be the financial clout that carries the most weight. So there is an opportunity on the horizon and when it comes knocking, it could very well have its wallet out. The General Board just needs to take its time in its search for a new General Secretary. And each group that tries to influence the search process with threats of withholding should be shown another group that has given significantly and has its own agenda. Ideally, we'll have givers scrambling over each other to see who can be the most generous in order to prove their influential ability and, as a result, the denominations coffers will be filled.
And let's not stop with the search for the next General Secretary. We can extend this to Annual Conference and base congregations' representation on their denominational giving. After all, why should a congregation that does not give money to the programs of Annual Conference have an equal voice in how those programs are run as a congregation that supports them generously? Rather than making decisions based on what might be lost, Annual Conference and the General Board would be able to make decisions on what's actually been given.
