pastoral moves
The Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith
The Rev. Jean Atta, who has been residing in Los Angeles, will be moving
to Boulder, Colorado, through June. This will give him valuable training
under an experienced pastor to better prepare him for a call after that. He will
continue to serve Los Angeles and other Western United States congregations
from Boulder.
The planned moves of the Rev. Coleman Glenn to Toronto, Canada, the
Rev. Jared Buss to Oak Arbor, Michigan, and the Rev. Joel Glenn to Durban,
South Africa, in November have needed some revision.
Due to medical complications, the Glenn family needs to stay in Bryn
Athyn for medical and family support. Also, the visa process for Joel moving
to South Africa has run into delays. So Coleman will remain in Bryn Athyn for
the foreseeable future. Jared will remain in Toronto at least through June. And
we anticipate Joel moving to Durban in the beginning of March, or as soon
afterward as he can obtain a visa.
The Rev. Derek Elphick will be without an assistant in Oak Arbor when
Joel leaves, but we anticipate placing the candidate Elmo Acton there after his
graduation in June.
