Open House at the new Baptist Joint Committee on Religious Liberty

 

As a friend of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, you are surely aware that our executive director, Brent Walker, has announced his retirement effective December 2016.

As difficult as his departure will be, we look to the future with excitement and hope. Our board of directors has put together a search committee composed of board members, long-time supporters and former staff members. Be assured that we are committed to finding and recruiting the very best executive director to lead the BJC into the future as we live out our God-given mission of defending and extending religious liberty for all people.

The position description is now available, and we are accepting applications. For details, please visit BJConline.org/ExecutiveSearch. That page has additional information and a link to a separate website with instructions on how to apply.

Daniel Glaze photoI want to ask something from each of you. If you know of someone who might be an excellent fit for this position, please encourage her or him to visit the website to learn more and to apply.

Also, I ask for your prayers. Please pray for me and our search committee during this time of discernment – that we might be given a clear sense of God’s direction and leadership. Please pray for and encourage our BJC staff, for they work tirelessly day in and day out on our behalf. And pray for Brent and his family as they prepare for his well-deserved retirement.

In the meantime, if you have any questions or feedback about this process, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

With Kindest Regards,
