Church News Compiled by Bruce Henderson a new secretary of the general church The Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith Alaine Fuller York has retired as Secretary of the General Church after more than 10 years of service. She was not only an extremely competent secretary but was a warm and friendly presence as the face of the General Church. She performed many behind-the-scenes tasks that enabled the Church to run smoothly. She also provided tremendous support for the General Church Board of Directors and to ministers and laypeople. Many thanks to her for her contributions. Anita Fiske Halterman, who also performs administrative assistant duties in the Office of Outreach, has assumed this responsibility.
