August 2019

The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) has been in communication with the Transition Working Group (TWG) throughout the summer in relation to the timing of our search for permanent Head of Staff. At the outset of our appointment, we were hopeful to be able to discern a candidate that could begin this fall after a short transition period following Steve’s retirement. The PNC is still seeking clarity on God’s call of a candidate to Idlewild and has communicated that to the TWG in order for the Session to make leadership decisions beyond the summer’s transition period.

As we mentioned in earlier communications, the PNC has been committed to finding the very best candidate for Idlewild regardless of timing and have every faith in that outcome. We have been encouraged throughout the process by the quality of candidates we have met, their interest in the Head of Staff position and the importance of Idlewild in PC(USA). As we continue our work, we ask for your ongoing prayers and support.

Grace and Peace,

The Idlewild PNC
