General Board members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) are preparing to gather in Indianapolis for their 2011 meetings which will start on Saturday Feb. 26 and end on Tuesday, March 1. Among other business, the General Board will consider the Administrative Committee’s recommendation to re-elect General Minister and President Sharon Watkins for another six-year term. If the board confirms her name, that recommendation will be forwarded to the General Assembly meeting in Nashville, Tenn., July 9-13 where a final decision will be made. Watkins would then serve from July 2011 to July 2017.
The board also will hear reports from General and Regional Ministries as well as review resolutions that will go before the General Assembly. To learn more about the work of this year’s General Board go to: www.disciples.org/generalboard
