Congratulations to More Light Presbyterians and Alex McNeill!

The Covenant Network celebrates with our friends at More Light Presbyterians the appointment of their new executive director, Alex McNeill. It is a historic moment in the life of their organization, and we congratulate them. Covenant Network executive director Brian Ellison issued the following statement:

Alex McNeill brings remarkable gifts, a wonderful spirit and a deep love for the church and its people. He is the right person at the right moment in the life of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). His own willingness to break down barriers in his own life and ministry will energize the whole movement and inspire the church.The past year has seen a new degree of collaboration and partnership between the Covenant Network and More Light Presbyterians, as well as other organizations. We are excited to see that continue—and are confident it will with Alex as part of the community of leaders of these groups.We also extend great appreciation for the interim leadership of Patrick Evans, who, following a long successful tenure by Michael Adee, steered the organization through transition with grace, good humor and great collegiality. Many blessings to Patrick as he moves forward in his ministry.
