The BRI Newsletter has been produced for six years under the able leadership of my distinguished colleague Ekkehardt Mueller. As its editor, he has performed an excellent job in making sure that its intended goals were achieved through articles that addressed important theological and doctrinal issues within our community of faith. The arrival of Clinton Wahlen allows us to use the skills of Ekkehardt Mueller in other areas by placing the editorial responsibility of the Newsletter into the hands of Clinton. I take this opportunity not only to inform you about this change, but particularly to express my deepest appreciation to Ekkehardt for a job well done. Marlene Bacchus will continue to be the Production Manager. Her skills are indispensable to us in the preparation of the Newsletter.

I am sure that the new editor will continue to produce a product that will be useful to church leaders, professors, and pastors. If you have any suggestions on how we can best serve you, please, feel free to write to us to share your ideas. I encourage church leaders to make sure that the Newsletter reaches the pastors by appointing someone in the administrative structure to forward it to them.
