The Rev. Alan Cowley has been called as the next pastor of the Boynton Beach
New Church in Florida, effective July 1. He has been pastor of the Michael
Church in London, England, for the past three years.
The Rev. Ethan McCardell has been called as the next pastor of the
Michael Church, effective July 1. He has been pastor of the Light for Life
church plant in Seattle, Washington, for the past eight years.
In a Facebook posting in early March he said that leaving the Light for Life
Church was a difficult decision but that the future of the church “looks bright.”
He said: “We have become a stable and consistent worshipping and serving
community which the General Church is committed to continue supporting.”
The Rev. Mac Frazier has been called as the assistant pastor of the
Glenview New Church.
The Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith noted: “Mac will be leaving the church plant
in Austin (Texas) and we will be terminating this project. Mac had begun this
church plant in 2010. He set clear goals and has worked assiduously toward
them. Unfortunately, the number of participants and financial support have
not met those goals, nor do we see any way for them to be met, or any viable
goals, at any time in the future.
“This was an experiment and like any experiment it can fail. We knew that
when it was set up. But there are already some positives from this. A number
of people had their spiritual lives enriched by the services provided by the New
