[Magdalen] '"D" Day (Departure Day) for Diocese of Bethlehem Staff.

[Cantor03 at aol.com]

Things are tough all over.
 
This is a key paragraph from the Acting Bishop's  Address:
 
 
<<<  Part of that difficult work is to  reduce the size of the diocesan 
staff so that more of the money contributed by  the people of the diocese can 
be devoted to mission and ministry on the local  level.  In these quickly 
changing times, adaptability is essential, and we  can no longer maintain the 
large staff we now have. Today, then, I am  eliminating four staff positions 
and, regretfully, ending the employment of four  full-time staff members who 
have given faithful service to our  diocese.>>>>
 
This includes two lay  assistants, and two clergymen, including the 
Archdeacon.
